Well, i probably shouldnt buy a 2.4 cause im on a budget, but if i loose my plane cause of glitches and being shot down, I will be out alot more. It will all be a gradual shift towards bigger better things. Look at full scale aviation. They are phasing in GPS in a big way, and i bet the NDBs will slowly start being unplugged. Thats just part of life. Technology will always be changing. Anyone that is getting into the hobby that i know, im telling them all to get 2.4. no sense on buying into old inferior technology. not that there is anything wrong with the equip, but it will be rendered useless probably in the next 5 years or so.
