Hi
Ok Call me a grumpy twat, old fashioned etc. But why would I want another screen showing telemetry, in fact other than monitoring critical function on a plane , eg. Rx battery voltage. Signal strength , main battery status on an electric plane, turbine battery status why would I want to festoon my plane with other functions? More weight, more wring, more to go wrong etc.
why would I want a separate screen showing telemetry only .at all. When I am flying I don’t take my eyes off the plane from take off to roll out. If I do the slippery critter tries to hide in plane sight.
All my telemetry is on Alarms so that is the threshold is broken I know without looking down.
I am a long term user of Futaba and I will probable buy this eventually, to replace my faithful 18mz. But if you look past the slick marketing, it appears IMHO just an 18 mz with a new screen tacked on and a minor firmware rewrite. Priced above the competition.

just my opinion, interested to hear others opinion,

Mike
