From looking at it, it seems like the tricky bit would be to make sure that the dots of solder don't touch neighboring dots of solder and that's a matter of a fraction of a millimeter.
...but they'll sell on the used market too.
Not really an option for me since I live in Japan. There would absolutely zero market here for a used Airtronics Tx and trying to sell them in the US through something like eBay would be a non-starter. Making a switch between brands always involves some financial disadvantage. The trade-in for the SD-10GS is a good deal since I would be able to continue to use my four Airtronics Rx units. On the the other hand, if I bought the Futaba 8J (which would come with one Rx) and added another, that would take care of things short term.
