Help with radio choice, Possible firestorm!

Yes both radios have a throttle curve screen. And built in ready to go just
activate it up.

I actually use two different throttle curves in the 10X and the 9303 has the
same capability. You just assign a switch for the throttle curve and bam you
have 2 curves. I use one for windy conditions and one for calm.
