All suggestions that have been made in the various threads here and elsewhere have been forwarded to Futaba for their consideration. However, it must be understood that Futaba NEVER discloses what they are working on, or what is the likelihood of any programming suggestion being implemented. We only get acknowledgement that they received the suggestion and will give it proper consideration.
When you say, "There are many of us that have needs that are not being addressed, that we know of", they need to see actual numbers, good data. Futaba needs to know the actual demand, and really, they want to know the worldwide demand for that feature.
Bax, thank you for your reply. If only Futaba would learn from you.
Since you are the line into the Futaba black hole, I ask that you let them know how disgusted I am with the content of your response. It's not you or any representative I have issue. The problem is corporate culture thinking they are going to prevent another manufacturer from steeling their ideas if they were to announce development of an airspeed sensor for example. That boat has sailed. Please let them know "The policies currently in place regarding the deliberate lack communication is going to cost them market share. If better support is not fourth coming I plan to sell my 18MZ and support another Mfg that is willing to effectively communicate."
As you say, Futaba is looking for "good data worldwide". My question, how do they expect to collect said data if they do not poll the owners of telemetry capable transmitters? Has there been a poll on potential telemetry options I missed? I've not recieved any email from Futaba asking for input.
