RE: Is my 9CAP going to be a dinosaur?
I just bought a 10C with the 2.4GHz. module in it. I copied all my setups directly from my 9CAPS Campac in about 5 minutes. I put the 6014 receiver that came with the 10C in my most prized plane and flew it the next day. I pop the old 9CAPS 72 MHz module in and I can fly all the rest of my planes. One of the best parts is that the programming on the 10C is almost identical but with the addition of the little joystick dojobby it's much faster navigating the menus.
I love my 9CAPS and I loved my 9CAP but I have to say you really can feel the quicker more "connected" feeling with the 10C. I imagine I'll start ordering a 2.4 GHZ receiver here and there until I've 100% untouchable.
The 10C is tough too. I was range checking my plane and wasn't watching where I was going. I walked right into a cable barrier and fell on my face (and transmitter). The antenna came off the 10C but it popped right back on with no damage.
