Default RE: JR Radios and JETS

I have the JR 10X and the Futaba Wc2. Of the two, I prefer the JR hands-down.

Somewhere, I have a lengthy 10X vs Wc2 comparison doc that I put together a while ago.

Interestingly enough, we did some polls here on RCU a while ago, and for jet use the 10X won, whereas for non-jet use the Wc2 came out well ahead ! One of the most common reasons quoted at the time, for turbine pilots prefering the 10X, was simply that 10 is better than 9 - i.e that one channel was a deal-breaker for many people. It's amazing how quickly you can use up 10 channels on a jet, whereas the IMAC (etc) guys often couldn't care less about having that many channels - no retracts, no brakes, no speedbrake, etc., etc. - they just wanted the Wc2's mixing abilities (and they didn't really mind if they had to deal with a 1960's style user interface to get it .)

PS for Sean - if you think the 10X is heavy, try holding the Wc2 ... it feels like a brick by comparison.
