RE: Futaba 8UAP TX how good is it?
I have one, it will do a lot of stuff. It's comparable in functionality to the 9C minus a few things. It's not as easy to program as the 9C in my opinion. Also it's not set up for triple rates. Other than that it's pretty close in funcitonality minus a channel.
If you can get a good deal in the 8U super I'd say go for it as long as it appears to work - or send it in for a check up after you get it.
