Gary B - I like the Hitec strictly because of the price, given that I think that the Quantum is as good as or better than Futaba.

iflyrvs1 - The TOC guys use PCM in their planes. BUT, I was at several meets this past summer yakking with several of them (TOC guys) and flying each others planes. It got real interesting when I asked them some questions about radio setups. All that I talked to used 2 receivers on PCM. WHY? Cause that is what they were given. Well golly gee lets think about that - I am sponsoring a world class 3D pilot - what these world class pilots use and fly with all the other wannabees are gonna buy - lets give this world class guy our top of the shelf / most expensive / best markup products for free - and we'll make it up when all the other wannabees go and buy the same thing.

My buddy fell into that trap - used a single PCM receiver - didn't pay attention to noise - and lost a bunch of big expensive birds over the past several years. In the same time, I lost one to PCM failsafe (interfernece that got worse until I found out about it when failsafe kicked in) and one due to an idiot turning on while I was flying.

SO, 2 PPM receivers for me, unless Futaba or JR or Airtronics wants to sponser me - Please send me two TXs, @ 20 PCM receivers, 40 or so digital servos, harnesses, switches, hats, t-shirts, and yeah, I'll tell everyone that brand XX is the best in the world and you need to go buy the exact same or you won't be any good. Yeah, that would work for me.
