I, and the other 8 people in my club who use Multiplex, are all thumbs on top fliers. The only people we know who use trays and finger and thumb are people with Futaba.

The notion that the wide Multiplex are not suited for thumbs, or have to be used with trays, is just myth. The wide shallow box fits into your hands more naturally than the narrow deep Japanese boxes do. Since Futaba/JR can't compete with Multiplex Profi, especially the 4000, for flexibility, programmability, and ground-breaking features, they have to rely on the spread of misinformation.
