I'm flying off of three fields and the pin board is still there and used. All of us still on FM get there, pin up and then walk the line just like we always have. Other then that I haven't seen any difference between FM and 2.4, maybe a lot of mystery crashes with 2.4 but that seems to be happening a lot less these days as people get used to the new system and the set up. I'm still using a Futabe 9-C and in the future I may change it over to 2.4 but that could be a long while?? I still fly everything from 30% to 60 size with mine. No new problems, gas or glow. There are a lot less people using the pin board these days though.
