Help with radio choice, Possible firestorm!

I'll have to tell my friend that has the 8103s about the 9303. With the
throttle curve and adjustable trim sensitivity it is a step up. Does it have
digital trim levers? Also, does it have an external memory card to store
additional model setups?



Thanks, Rich

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.
