I have had BOTH, JR and FUTABA! The 2.4 spectrum is OLD Tecnology! I also don't know if you are going over seas anytime soon but, JR and Futaba are BOTH ILLEGAL in the Europe and UK. I have switched to the Hitec Aurora 9 Radio. I find that it is faster then the other two. It has a really good feel to it. It is a really a good radio and I have had ZERO problems with it. I fly electrics, Nitro's, Gas, and Jets and have had no problems. It is Very easy to program and has more than enough features than I need!! It is something to look at!
