Default RE: Has JR lost the plot

Heres part of a post from another site....

Jr
16 channels
spread spectrum

should be at least announced if not released later this year. I have no idea what bells and whistles will come with it , but 16 ch and spread spectrum are super and exactly what the hobby needs !

as for other news (which i spilled some of already)

Futaba will be discontinuing the 9zap soon. A 12 ch ver of the 14mz will be made available to replace it at a lower price. The 12mz will be the same case as the 14mz, but with software limited to 2 less channels, and also the lack of some other functions and programing. Futaba put over 2$ mil into the 14mz development, and the high price of the 14 mz was their way of making the $ back ... there are always those that immediately jump on any new band wagon comming around ... (14mzs are sold out and on back order already in most places, so this shows Futaba's plan worked)
