RE: one final time
You really have to see right through anyone calling anything like that junk. Airtronics has long been one of the big four systems out there. Now, one of the big five if you include Spektrum and not join it in with JR.
They are all fine systems. No, they are not junk. I may not fly Futaba, but have flown with one. And, it was just fine. I owned two Airtronics radios, an RD6000 and an RD8000 (before, when it was 72 MHz) and still fly with it. They are just fine.
Pick one, Bill, any one... and you won't be sorry.
