PPM or 2.4 gig??? PCM????
Iam planning on upgrading my radio for my Sig Mid Star. Iam currently flying a futaba skysport 4 channel for my Goldberg Eagle II. I wish to keep that radio and receiver with that plane. Any suggestions on PPM or the new 2.4 gig technology???? What bout PCM???I want to go to a 6 channel for using the transmitter for other aircraft in the future. Being away from the hobby for so many years, all the new technology is kicking my A*&.

I think you answered your own question.....The future is 2.4 why invest in outgoing techknowlogy and why keep old radios when the new stuff will handle all your airplanes with one transmitter. Just my huble opinion.

Would the 2.4 work with my current receiver(channel 34) in my Eagle? Or would it require a 2.4 matched receiver in each aircraft?

You would have to upgrade everything. 2.4 isn't compatible with your old receivers. I plan on upgrading all my stuff to 2.4 soon and all the old stuff will go on the shelf or be given away. I can't wait for the first day I go to the field and don't have to worry about a frequency pin or getting shot down by someone on my freq ever again. SWEET!!!! I'm waiting on the new Futaba gear. Their stuff looks great with the FASST system.

With everyone selling their old systems cheap, I plan to buy a lot of cheap old systems
They will be fine for several years to come, and by then the 2.4 systems will be a lot cheaper
(Yea, so I'm cheap, so what?)
