I am curious as to why you guys are getting your knickers in a twist about the new transmitter. It may well be the bee's knees when it arrives in final format, but, at the moment I have a JR 10x plus two JR 12X transmitters (powered by Eneloop with external cables from Alan. ) converted to Weatronic receivers of all kinds. The 10 and 12x's are beautifully, made, top quality devices (like BMW or Mercedes, Nikon or Canon) and when you add a Weatronics Tx module and a Wea receiver you have an incredibly capable system, with excellent redundancy, which works to perfection. AND I understand the 10 and 12X programming !

Harry might need 32 channels but I certainly don't, so just what are you guys flying which needs more?

I am currently resurrecting my most complex model, a Fibre Clasics Mig 29. (which HAS flown) Two engines, 6 flaps on the wing, intake ramps, speedbrakes, wheelbrakes etc. etc and I STILL have channels and servo outputs left over, so what do you guys need ?

OK so Wea have to introduce their own Tx because current transmitters won't accept their module. However, the 12 X, with space for a module, is STILL available from Japan RC (Japanrc.net) at an excellent price as is most of the earlier Futaba stuff for which a Wea module is available.

Frankly, if the new Wea tx is years away I still have an an exceptionally good system which handles my fleet (12 jets) to perfection.

No colour screens (except Giga Control) no music, no tea making facilities, no bling, just quality and functionality, but so what ? I managed to find my way around the world in a 767 without that colour or music, it doesn't help the machine to fly any better ! Just a fantastically solid, capable of evaluation, dual, RF link with almost, (no dual Tx batteries) all the safety devices one could wish for, and programmability which is just fantastic.

Don't fret guys !!
