I will go to SS once it has been proven to be a reliable solution. It looks very promising right now. Right now for aircraft Spektrum, which is NOT JR, is the only show in town. But I will not give up my 14MZ for the desire to have SS.
I am very confident (while having no inside info to support my thoughts) that both Futaba and JR will not be far behnd. They simply cannot afford to wait too long.
For the time being I will stay on ham band, at least there is a slightly reduced chance of a shoot down there. Interference has never been an issue for me. I simply cannot recall the last time I had any RF related issue with anything I fly.
As a CD, the thought of NEVER having to worry about channel conflicts is absolutely intoxicating!!!
I think it's intoxicating for everyone that has been in the hobby for any period of time. For my 28 years in the hobby I have always been worried about shooting somebody down. Its always in the back of your mind. For some people way back.

This system should really reduce or eliminate that worry completely.
