RE: FM vs. PCM radios ??!!!
PCM for me.
I care about my models ... and the people around me.
More reliable radio link (higher signal to noise ratio)
+
Predicatable failure mode (I know my model is not going to head over a crowd if I lose that tenuous radio link due to interference).
It's not about saving the model, it's about saving innocent bystanders.
Choose enhanced safety: Choose PCM, choose fail-safe throttle to idle (minimum).
