I figured some people were going with the 2.4 systems by now. I fear the FMs will be phased out pretty quick. A friend of mine own the LHS and we've noticed that the Futaba FM transmitters are almost all discontinued as well are replacement parts. I've looked at the AR6200 Spektrum receiver since it is about $20 less. Don't think I'd miss the extra channel, at least with any of my combat planes.
