Default RE: Futaba 2.4 modules just released. 14 channels!

I knew that these were just around the corner! The new 12FG page says that its' "cheaper than other 12 channel radios" and since their's is one of them, I would think that implies that it will be less than $1K...

I have one of their 2.4 GHz 6 channel systems that I'm testing now. It seems to work OK, but I want more time on it before I dive into the 12FG. Also, there is one down side to the 2.4 GHz systems...

I don't know if those of you who have tried them have noticed, but if for some reason, you DO have a failsafe event, the 2.4 GHz systems seem to take A LOT longer to come back. This seems to be particularly true of the Futaba 6-channel unit. If you loose link, its a good 4 seconds before you get it back...
