Hey Jim
I also took a look at the radio, very nice, if you contact Peter,he picked up one, $1500 dollar, sounds like a lot of money,18MZ $3000.
I tried today, to get spec, on the Neu out runner, but Steve was not there.

Great AMA EXPO
$1295 actually, with 9 channel RX. It's the DC-16, 16 channels, full FCC cert sticker on the back (I believe the DS-16 is still waiting on FCC) tray style radio, I'm excited to try it out on my Griffin, from reading the manual and doing some initial playing, it's very intuitive to program and a much more "robust" feeling radio than my Spektrum DX-10t.

The only downside is now I don't have the simple redundant power receivers from Spektrum so I need to figure out a clean lightweight redundant high voltage system. I'm thinking thunder power 3s receiver pack going to a CC BEC programmed for 7.9v with the Mezon ESC providing an 8.0 volt output from the main battery, those two providing the inputs to a Fromeco Wolverine switch or a Smart-Fly Batshare that way I get a nice consistent 8.0-7.9 volts for the whole flight. Jim O, what do you think?
