Default RE: best for begginers

Carrelh,

I do not currently know of any bind n fly aircraft on the market that come with Futaba DSM reciever. I am not sure as to why this is, whether it be that JR has cornered the market or that Futaba is not interested in providing that type of package deal. Who knows....I wish that distributors would start providing that option. It seems though, that I read somewhere that the bind n fly concept was first concieved by JR or Spektrum....More than likely, JR invented it or brought it into the hobby, and started the company Spektrum to market it....this would probably be my belief as I dont think Spektrum sells a radio system other than DSM....I personally have read what seems like infinite amounts of useless information on the 2.4ghz digital spectrum modulation, but still do not know all there is to know about it.

As an option, though it just means spending more money, they do sell a 2.4 DSM module to convert some Futaba radios to DSM. I do believe that you can purchase a compatible module for you Futaba, and it will then work with the current bind n fly options. It is still probably cheaper than buying a new transmitter.

Long story short, I see what you are talking about. I have been looking while I type this and still can find no bind n fly aircraft equipped with a Futaba DSM reciever...
