RE: Futaba 7C CAP
The 7CAP is a more expensive version of a 4 Ch. They both make the plane go 'round. Frankly, I prefer the feel of the old vinyl covered aluminum transmitters. These plastic molded cases all feel cheap to me. The flashy chrome plating peels and the silver layered lettering fades but hey!...it's progress, right?
Stick tension is good and naturally, is adjustable. The flight pak is samo-samo, (I bought the std. 3004 servo version). No surprises there.
The plane saver feature is nice but you better remember to switch plane # mode prior to flying. More than once I've attempted to fly a model other than that which appeared on the LCD screen. As we get older, remembering all the bells and whistles becomes less and less a priority, and enjoying the flying becomes more desireable.
I invested in this system specifically to get the very feature I cannot achieve with this transmitter. In this respect, I've wasted money.
Other than that, I have a nice flashy transmitter that performs just as well as my SkySport 4 channel.
