RE: Radio's Old vs. New
I have some older Futaba gold radios - a 4 channel and a 7 channel. Neither are legal now, but I love the transmitters. I e-mailed radio south to find out how much it would cost to make them legal and they said it would cost more than comparable new equipment that has a ton more features. However, I'm still thinking about it because they are nice transmitters.
I know if I had a Kraft single stick, it would definitely be worth the money to convert it.
