Yuk-a-yuk.... that was a knee slapper!! Seriously.... some of us out here are retired, and don't have "unlimited" resources. I went to the Internet Fly In last year. That was my first real fly in, and I saw some very "well healed" people flying some very nice eqipment. I don't fly junk,
and all my planes and equipment are well kept. But, if I can save about $20 to $25 on a flight pack and standard battery, I will stay with Hitec. Hitec includes the battery and Futaba doesn't. (remember my post.... I found a way to center the Hitec servo arms....... and I don't like/trust, the R127DF receiver that comes with the comparable Futaba flight packs). Don't get me wrong....... I think Futaba is probably the best radio equipment overall. (I have 2 planes with Futaba PCM receivers). Hitec gives you good "bang for your $buck"[8D] .... lownslo....
