9CAP or 8103
...i've owned over 20 Futaba radios in over 20 years in the hobby with mostly good luck - but when Hitec came out with their new Eclipse w/Spectra systhesizer at a very reasonable price, i just had to have one!...
...well, it seems to work ok, but i was amazed at some of the features it DIDN'T have that the Futaba 8 channel does...at power up, model name & trim positions don't display - you have to scroll to a separate screen to display the model name and trim positions - and then the trim position is in percent rather than graphically displayed!!!...
...you can't disable the trainer switch, so if you accidently hit it in flight you will lose control of your plane - there are no offsets on flaperons - no switch assignability -i got glitches using it with an old Futaba receiver, but maybe it was a bad receiver - also, it's a bettery eater - seems to be worse than the 8 channel Futaba, but maybe not...
...after reading this, i think i'm going to have to have a new Futaba 9 channel...
