JPEE- What a great video, thanks for posting it for me! The T-28 looks awesome in the air! How do you like the quality of the PZ stuff? What are your flight times with it? I know the Bf109 carries the larger motor than the T28 and yet still has the same 1800 battery. I like the Bf109 over the T28 becuase I've always been a fan of tail draggers. I have found any real negativecomments about park zone yet so I'd really value your honest opinion on it. I'm honestly having a hard time deciding whichpark flyer and what brand to actuall buy. LOL! I Love makking these kinds of decisions!

Radio discussion- I had been flying nothing but Futaba since I got into the hobby 10 years ago. Not ONCE during that time did I have a problem with interference or radio issues itself (except for a broken antenna I did myself). Mind you this was all 72MHZ stuff. Since getiing the B400 about a year and a half ago, I have been using the included DX6i with absotuley no issues on that one either. I used it on the B400 and now on the mCX. Mine wasn't part of the recall issue nor have I had any pots go bad as others have reported. It's seen a lot of use and still keeps on going. That said though, there IS something to be said for having a backup radio. With 10 model memory on most radios today you could easily have just one radio for everything but you certainly do so at a greater risk. The conclusion i came to just yesterday before this discussion came up was that I am selling off my 2 Futaba's (Skysport 4 and my T6XA) since both are on 72MHz and I am getting out of the glow/gas stuff because of our field issue. I will likely pickup another 6Xi or maybe even a 5 on 2.4 GHZ as park flying will be my only gig for quite awhile. Iwish to go all 2.4 from here on out and I don't have any micro RX's for my Futaba stuff. That is NOT to say I was ever dissatisfied with Futaba, they have been totally reliable for me the past 10 years.

If you ask me, the problems we see with radios today I think has more to do with a price point that vendors are looking to sell for than anything. To hit that price point, they use lesser quality materials and workmanship. Let's face it- todays park flyers are, by and large, casual RC'ers who are just looking to have some fun and not take the hobby too seriously (exceptions exist of course). If that casual rc'er had to spend $300 just for a radio well he likely wouldn't get in the hobby at all. Now take a look at the PZ Mustang. It comes COMPLETE with everything and all for just $200. That price point will get people into the hobby and flying. But we all know the reason for the price is because of the radio gear. If you still needed a DX6i for abot $150 on top of that, well most people I'd imagine would pass on it.

Jay- That was also a cool video and yes it was something Rick would post. I hear ya about sports with your boy. My guy skates rings around me on the ice and laughs has he hits me into the boards and I fall on my butt!!! But I remind him that while he may have it over me on the ice, I still set the rules in the house & I can make it VERY uncomfortable for him!! LMAO!!!!
