Well, I was proud of the first answers you guys gave. Then that "Spectrum" thing came in. Now I'm jealous. Can't wait for the other manufacturers to get on it and make them so the prices come down....

The 'other' manufacturers have 'gotten on it' in the car side of RC. All the module radios have spektrum (that is spelled with a k btw) modules available and they have been working successfully for several years now.
The airplane side is newer and will catch up eventually. I think they wanted to prove themselves on the ground before taking to the air. Good decision.

My DX7 was only about $350 - you can pay way more than that for a pcm/fm 9 channel eh? I think they did well with the pricing actually, but all of them are still way overpriced IMHO.
