Satellite this, dsm2 that........go futaba fasst and never lose another plane. I wouldnt put that crap in a foamy!!! Always forums on spektrum failing....hmmm....seems repetitious doesnt it.
Never lose another plane huh? Unless you select an incorrect model memory.. (Put your hand up if you have ever done this...) Yep, I'm a dummy, I did it twice and crashed two helicopters with Futaba..
It would not have happened with Spektrum due to the Model Match Feature which is really good insurance against bozos like me..
But what testing have YOU done Personally to prove Futaba is Better than Spektrum...
The Best Range I have achieved from Any 2.4 system was with a JR Radio and a Spektrum Receiver, which was reproducibly MUCH better than any Futaba system I have tested..
Here is a vid to prove it..

You criticise the satellites, but have you TESTED them yourself.. they actually work.. with 3 of the 4 antenna blocked and just ONE of the satellite antennas visibile, the Entire system WORKS..
Listen to the first part of this video after I did a series of testing with a brand new DX8
and yes,I have many Futaba radios which also work great..
