Default RE: Has JR lost the plot

First off.. do you really think JR has been sitting on the 10X and not thinking of how to improve it? I'd be willing to bet the day the 10X was shipped to the 1st customer they started working on the next thing down the line. I don't have any clue as to when a new radio might come from JR, but I can assure you they didn't just close up shop once the 10X was done.

Secondly.. does the existance of the 14MZ suddenly make the 10X a bad radio? Does the 14MZ do things you need that you simply cannot do with the 10X? I'm sure some people just have to have the latest and greatest toy, but consider this.. The 10X is a time tested and proven radio. I'm not so willing to just throw something new into an airplane just because it's new. Maybe you are.

Lastly, and most importantly, JR is not a reactionary company. They're not going to rush something to market just because Futaba or any other brand for that matter has something new out. When JR is ready to release a new product that they feel is complete and tested to the best of their ability, THEN you'll see it released.

And just to repeat... I have no knowledge of when anything new might come from JR.
