Default Electronics

Hi- I am still using all of my older Futaba FG series 72MHZ radios. They are all gold stickered, and i bought a few that were AM, and installed the FM module in them. Then I sent them to Tony at Radiosouth, and had them completely gone over, new NIMH batteries installed, and completely tuned. They have worked flawlessly for the 30 or so years I have used them, never got hit, or had a glitch, and i just like them. Most of the flyers in our club have gone to 2.4, and i pretty much have the freq board all to myself. I have a TX for each of my planes, and have a couple TX's that I can use on 3 other planes with the same RX channel. I guess I'm too old to change and don't need all the extra bells and whistles, or programming hassles.
