Yes , If Airtronics had a better marketing setup I am sure you would see many more at the flying field. The local hobby store will only carry Spekctrum
as that is what Horizon Hobbies distributes plus their big push on the bind N fly aircraft and heli's. there is another hobby store about 45 min drive away that stocks a few Spekctrum and Airtronics but will order Futaba when asked. Personally I would not have a Spekctrum. I have tried one and don't care for the programming, binding system and don't like the signal transmission format. In the 6 years I have been flying the Airtronics 2.4 ( switched from Futaba after 17 plus years) I have never had a single glitch and some very extreme range flying. Couple of years ago I sold all my Futaba and Hitec servos and converted to all digital Airtronics servos. To nitpic any issues with the Aiurtronics servos would only be the leads as I would prefer a more flexible lead .
