Thanks Harry,

You are absolutely right about the Multiplex radios, plus the involvment between JR and Graupner. This is my point exactly.

The technology is there. JR and Graupner developed the 12 channel radio simply because the demand for such equipment in Germany was large. I am NOT expecting JR to release a 14 channel radio. I had my sights on something bigger like the 18+ channel with all the safety features that you mentioned. Thanks for your comments.


And heres something else for you Doug.

You say: Quote: 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.

You know that in the Aviation Industry as soon as new ideas are talked about, they are made public. This may be months, even years before their release. But at least peole know its comming. Do you think that when Boeing decide to release something new Airbus keeps quiet and visa versa. Not at all, they are quick to jump to the challenge otherwise SOMEONE WILL LOOSE OUT BIT TIME. The end result is always something very good and compeditive (from both sides). Why, because they listen to their customers.

Anyway, my whole idea of this post was not to downgrade any manufacturer. It was simply to find out if there is something really good to look forward to from JR.

Happy landings,

Darryl
