I am using the larger 2.4 in my A10. If you have the room for it, I can't imagine a reason no to try the larger one if you are going to be running many 8711s etc.
MY research has suggested to me that the RF link is at least on par if not superioe to anything else out there and the redundancy in the system is comforting too.
I am still wiating for mine though....
The downside to weatronic is the support. Gerhard himself has been very good. But he also requires support from Germany which seems to be the weak link.
What are you building and where are you flying? I am in MN too.

We had met 2-3 years ago at the MN Jet Rally. I had dropped in as a spectator but the day was washed-out due to rains/bad weather. On a A-10 I cannot imagine NOT using a power management system such as the larger Weatronic Rx or Powerbox. I am in the process of finishing a BVM Rafale Single Engine w/ 7 8411s and 4 analog servos (requires 9 ports on the RX if you dont use reversed servos). No where close to an A-10 in size, complexity, # of servos. Needless to say keeping it light and simple is one of the goals.
I am certain of buying a Weastronics RX for 2 key reasons - RF Link and built in redundancy of dual Rx.
I basically need to better understand the differences between the 12 Micro and 12 R?
1. Are there any programming(Software) limitations between the Micro and R series. I did downloaded the manuals /software but was unable to determine programming limitations between the 2.For the rafale I need to program 4 servos on a single channel i.e. 2 elevator and 2 canards
2. What is the max current draw the Micro will handle, another way to ask this question would be to compare current handling capability of a micro with other 2.4 Rx's from JR. From what I have read the larger rx will handle is 32 Amps but I could not find the same on the micro.
Hopefully more people will chime in with the differences between the 12 Micro vs the 12 R.
