The 9V series of radios are probably the best transmitters quality wise that Futaba ever made. Probably explains why they are still around.. The quality of the gimbals, plastic, metal, bearings and electronic construction of those radios far surpasses any of the stuff currently being sold.. I've converted a few to 2.4 Ghz and use them every day. I wish I would have realized how good they were before I went out and spent a small fortune on some new Futaba gear..
