I have an AR500; whats wrong with that?
ORIGINAL: heavy metal thunder
I have been using the DX7, Futaba Fasst, and Airtronics RDS8000 and they all work great. Radios have come a long way since I started in 1972, you don't know what horror is until you fly the old AM sets. You made a good decision, just be sure you use the AR7000 or AR6200 receivers. Also remember to rebind your radio after you adjust it to the plane. One guy forgot to do this on a new plane and when he came into the pit area turned off the transmitter the throttle was set in reverse so the failsafe was set on high throttle. The motor went to high and totally out of control.
