As much as I hate to say it, A lot of the guys on here are not gonna touch that thing until it becomes a single unit. That big clunky flat antenna is not really functional, you will have to attached everytime you fly to the TX. Just a big hassle. That being said, it won't see the same sucess the first unit had. You are right, Weatronic did have ground breaking technology. A small box provided, dual rcvr's, redundant power, easy programming, sequencing of servos, the list goes on and on. But, now that you this "contraption" on top of the TX people will look elsewhere to accomplish the same attributes that the weatronics does. Personally I would spend more $$ in individual items to "work around" the clunkyness. my .02 FWIW

Hi Sean,
I have heard both arguing about the beauty or the lack of beauty of it. Some people don't care about the looks and strive for funcionality. Of course is it is also a matter of taste and to some the looks are more important than performance. So be it. Some people rather throw out the baby with the bath water.
Weatronic recommends to actually leave the transmitter module on the receiver and put it in the transport case attached to the transmitter while not in use. It is what it is at this time an it will lead to further developments down the road.
The switch from 72 MHz to 2.4 GHz has caused a lot of problems with all, the manufacturers and the users as well. This is just the beginning and I am excited about what the new system is capable of assisting you.

p.s. Gerhard, I think you need to add a signature to show your affiliation to Weatronic.
Hi Siclick33,
I am an
independent distributor here for the US (Technodynamik-USA c/o Weatronic-USA) and I would not at all be selling this product if it were an average transmitter / receiver system that has no distinction from the others. I do not deny, that it is in my own interest to promote this product. I would not put up my name for something that I can not stand up for.
My interest is promoting cutting edge technology and with that improving the safety and reliability of the hobby. I started the dedicated Weatronic forum in RC-Universe to actually help people to understand the system and its potential better.
Thanks
Gerhard
