Obviously, there are way more "configurations" to a jet than I thought. Some of which I think the Matchbox can handle others that it can not. It appears that the 10th channel is almost mandatory?

Well, even though I like the two features of Futaba, being the Synthesized TX module (Could save a bundle on TX modules) and the ability to assign switches to any thing. These are just luxuries and not necessities. After reading this and speaking to fellow flier's I think the JR 10x will be the wiser choice in the end. If not, I bet it would be easy to sell .

Sum up reason to own

10 channels
Analog trim
Easy of programming
3 year warranty
Large presence in the Jet community - Fellow flier support on radio

Does that sum it?
