[NSRCA-discussion] Which transmitter?

[Archie Stafford]

The 12 series Futaba will do everything the 9z did and more. Both have the same featues as the 14mz except color screen, mp3 player and number of proportional channels.  Biggest difference between the FG and Z is the case and gimbels. Features are essentially identical and both are software upgradeable. 

The 12z uses the same gimbels as the 14mz whereas the 12 FGs arent as nice. Both have servo grouping which is nice for your IMAC stuff. If the 9z did it, then both of these will do it and do it easier.

They are many transmitters on the market that may work for me but I am having a hard time find which transmitters have the functions I am looking for.  It is not as simple as asking in the local hobby store, they don’t seam to understand how conditions are used for in a fixed wing aircraft and the websites are not to clear and it’s not like I can try them all!
