Default RE: READ ALL ABOUT IT!! Futaba's Newest Toy

Hey guys, give it a break! Dont kill it off before you have tried it! Think the CE OS is pretty stable. After all, you are going to run JUST the operation system in an isolated machine, not load up lots of non-Microsoft software and suft the net getting viruses or so. So relax.

Love the idea with storing model data on a Flash Card. That way you are never limited to the radios memory and upgrading to a bigger card is very cheap these days. Nice color screen, hopefully easy to read. The switch customizing is cool, though not up to the stuff Robbe`s 14+ kit-radios are capable of.

The voice commands; i dont see the point ....as you said, the cost of mis-translation might be the loss of the entire aircraft. Also, its probably much slower than just flipping a switch anyway. Even if its almost instand, switching is always quicker then you saying "landing gear down"...

Not a word of the *actual* programming on offer...just a list of fancy new stuff. Guess there aint much more to do program-wise in the radio world, unless some engineer invents like a new airplane tail configuration that needs special mixing or so..(hmm..a "G-tail" would be cool )
