Default RE: Thinking of going spread spectrum

UM...

I am a JR guy. I have a 9303 and a 10X both of which are EXCELLENT FM radios. I fly a lot of JR servos and I have really supported JR throughout my short time in this hobby.


HOWEVER, Futaba has been in the 2.4 GHz game for many years in their heavy-equipment and demolition radio equipment divisions. They have what I consider to be a far superior technology. They have decades of experience in this particular technology, they have not been afraid to affix their name to the technology and have done so without hesitation.

When I make the switch to 2.4, I will likely choose Futaba, (prolly a 12Z). I am sure that Spektrum is safe for my planes, but I would like to fly with as much confidence as possible. Some of our planes cost more than we make in 2 months or more....and since I only fly Giant Scale, I realize that there are potentially lethal consequences from a glitch.
