i would contact Joe Howard at East Coast Scale helicopters. He is the us distributor for vario helis and can answer any questions you have. he is a goldmine of info on the varios.
I talked to Joe and have discovered that the A-109 is too narrow and small to hold the features Iwant to install

also i wanted to point out that you mentioned retracts for this agusta and wanted to make sure you knew that this particular version (109 K2) is fixed gear and makingit retractable will ibvolve your own mods.
He mentioned that, and the only A-109 power Icould find to model after the INGENone in Jurassic Park was Thunder Tiger / Marvel Craft. It looks like Iam going to just be doing another 4-500 size electric one for that.

as far as radios go, they are all very good brands and only personal preference and need for features determine which one i get.i have always been a JR guy for the last 20 yrs and never found a need to switch. i still fly with my 19yr old JR pcm 10.
Give Joe a call.

Dont worry about the JR dsm technology, it works just fine. For the cost of an 11X it will do damn near everything you need except the dishes. Its more flexable than the 93 or 9503 and you wont be sorry you bought it. Its SDCard lets you update the firmware as its modified too unlike the much more expensive 12x.
Thanks guys. I've been looking hard at the JR11x. Ijust didn't know about the only picking two channels instead of full spread. Iguess this would only matter in crowded flying fields? The only reason Iwould pick the Aurora 9 is if Ihad the Hitec telemetric system, which is not out yet. So if I have the Eagle Tree, it comes with it's own screen you just mount on the top of any radio.
