RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
It looks like the street price is going to be at or around $429.99 for the TX and 7 channel RX (2.4ghz) and $449.99 with the 9 channel Rx. We are shooting for July/August delivery with the 7 CH RX and then 1-2 months later the 9 channel and smaller 6 channel RX's will be available.
The Spectra 2.4Ghz module used is the same that will be available for the Optic and Eclipse, although it connects through the Aurora digitally so there is no added latency. It will also be able to use the Spectra Pro module to synthesize any 72mhz channel (USA.) You will, however, need to change to the appropriate antenna depending on the freq. band you want to use.
Compare the Aurora to the JR 9303 and Futaba 10C which cost substantially more!
Let me know if you guys have any questions.
Mike.
