Default RE: Does Spektrum offer a 2.4Ghz Module solution for a Futaba 9C?

Thanks for the reply Andy!

I was looking at that module just yesterday, but it looks like you have to replace the existing 9C antenna with the Spektrum antenna for it to work? Is this a quick change-over? Because I'm looking for a solution that I can do in seconds, between flights at the flying field.

Almost all my planes are still on 72Mhz, but I'd like the new plane to be on 2.4Ghz. So I need to be able to switch over from one to the other quickly, and easily, at the field.

I was originally hoping to just put the new plane on my 6ch Spektrum, but by the time I mix in the 2 aileron and 2 elevator servos, it leaves me with no mixing functions left. I also love the feature on the 9C where you can program your timer to start with the throttle. The Spektrum only allows you to assign it to a switch, and I NEVER remember to flip the switch before each flight!
