[NSRCA-discussion] Converting Futaba 12Z to 2.4

[Bob Richards]

Paul,
 
I was a bit slow to adopt the 2.4ghz conversion. I never jumped onto the Spektrum bandwagon as a lot of people did (nothing against Spektrum) I just wanted to wait to see what Futaba would bring to the market. I started with a 6ch Futaba setup flying lots of smaller electrics, then stepped up to the 10c after that. I liked the 10c since I could use my old 72MHz modules in it. However, I never once used any of my 72MHz stuff. I took it all to the swap meet and sold all of it and have not looked back. Peace of mind is worth a lot.
 
I have converted a couple of older radios (7UAP and 8UAPS) with the TM-7 and TM-8 modules and they work well, but the 12Z I believe has the native 2.4ghz connector that should give it much quicker reponse (less latency). That is the route I would go if I were you.
 
Good luck.
 
Bob R.

Hi all, 

Thanks for the advice on my 12Z conversion.  Expensive conversion but 
I guess it will be worth it in the long run.

 Hey Paul 
I got the Futaba module a couple years ago. Works flawlessly in my 9Z or 
9C.

Will I still get the same precision?   I heard in the past some of the conversions reduced the steps.  Thanks in  advance.  Please no brand wars.  I have the transmitter and love  it.  Just want to update it to 2.4.
