Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] SPEKTRUM Modules for Futaba


I don't know if people are interested, but Horizon Hobby is offering
Spektrum 2.4 gHz modules that fit Futaba radios (9c, 9z, 12z, 14mz,
etc.) for only $109.95 WITH a 7 channel Spektrum receiver.  Since that
receiver is normally $99.99 by itself, that is getting the module for
$10.  The module with a 9 channel receiver is only $179.99, again only
$10 more than the receiver alone.  I speculate they are clearing them
out since Futaba has come out with their own 2.4 module system.
Spektrum modules for JR transmitters are still the old price.  I have
had no problems with the module system in my two 10x's for over a year,
and I bought a Futaba set for an old 9VAP I have laying around.  Some
people don't like the cable hook up to the antenna on the Spektrum
module system, but I have had zero problems with it.  Surprisingly
robust.  This is the cheapest way I've seen to get into a 2.4 system if
you have a module transmitter.

No, I am not sponsored by Spektrum (or anyone else!)!
