[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba 7-CAF

[Fred Huber]

Well.. there's other mistakes that can be made in designing the mix 
programming....

Polks Tracker the trims will follow, but you have to assign mixes to a 
switch. (as in you can turn off half our elevator)  And you can't turn off 
the "native" knob/switch for the channel you have the second servo on (can 
accidentally get a big excursion of one elevator half)

Fortunately, the Tracker's software is upgradeable without replacing parts 
and they do listen to people asking them to make improvements. (I'm on my 
3rd revision and just ran into the dual elevator issue.  I expect an upgrade 
to be available in a couple of months.)  I don't know that the Futaba 7C has 
that capability.

Polks Tracker-III is pretty good for the price, but definitely not a perfect 
radio.  Good choice for a first computer radio (in my opinion better than 
the 7C)
