Futaba has come out with a 2.4 transmitter module and reciever for there high end surface radios, it is only a matter of time before this is in there aircraft radios, problem is the radio retails for $300 and the module and reciever is $200. for the airtronics guys they also have a sport oriented surface 2.4 radio that is coming out in march, I think that by the next holiday season all the major manufacturers will have dsm in there aircraft radios. Will it be worth running out and spending the $$$ ?.

The reason I mention surface radios is because even spektrum / JR started that way, and the DX6 was released a few moths later.
Hopefully for those of us who are not yet using high end radios we will have the choice to go with DSM in the near future, and it looks like the major players are getting into the game.
