Default 8fg super 2.4ghz suitable for turbines?

Hey jet guys. Just wondering if a futaba 8fg super 2.4 ghz would be a good radio for jet setup. Planning on a bvm bobcat with all futaba radio and a kingtech K80 kero start. Is it recommended/acceptable or should I just bite the bullet and grab a 14MZ and have every servo on a separate channel?

Thanks for your help guys.

Regards,
Chris.

How many channels do you need? 8FG Super or 8FG with free firmware upgrade has 14 channels, 12 proportional 2 switched. Should be enough for a Bobcat !

Great radio with no issues.. I been using one over a year now on my turbines, JL F-15, Xtreme BD5, and my DV8R. It has the 14 ch firmware update, and I 12 channels on everything. Nice to put 1 servo to 1 channel.

Great Radio, it's what i use for my jets, (boomerang Sprint, Mb339, Bandit Arf) all with the 6014HS Rx
once you get used to the censor touch dial its all good.

Thank all for your input. I already have the transmitter due to flying helicopters. I'll update the firmware and get excited for the new jet project.

Cheers all.
