right!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'll stick with the Spektrum product at least people are using
it. I'm sure there will be problems with any system. Its the growing pains of
the situation. However to be running ads that are pretty much bashing the other
guys saying Futaba did it right. Egg on the face it seems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Besides JR and Spektrum have the market well in hand. You need
a RX for a indoor or park flyer, they got it. Need a 9 channel system for you
jet or Pattern plane they got it and people have been flying it for months. Need
something just for a 7channel sport plane, got it. Oh and by the way all the
stuff from the very first RX on DSM as well as all the RX's on DSM2, they all
work on the same TX and any of the newer TX's. Its really nice to have reverse
compatibility. I guess we know who did Spread Spektrum Right?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I was looking toward the 14MZ but a local IMAC guy planted
3 40% models on the "new" G3 RX before they told him to cut the
antenna off. That's a lot of bones to plant. Each time the RX's went back to
Hobbico for a checkup, nothing wrong with them. Its your setup, its this, its
that. He now flies the 10X with Spektrum Module.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>By the way I love the X9303. Switched over from the Futaba
9Cap and haven't looked back. The 9303 blows the doors off the 9C and its got a
2.4 system that works. I think when the 12X hits the shelves I might drop
my dime on it. I just can't believe I flew Futaba all these years and was
missing the forest for all the trees. I have 3 different books how to program
the 9C and have yet to crack the plastic wrap on the 9303 CD manual. Its
awesome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All I can say it was a sad day when Futaba closed its doors in
Irvine, CA and sent the ball into Hobbico hands. Back then they had people that
knew what was up, knew what was needed in a system and drove the market. Today
they are along for the ride. I wish Steve Helms and crew were still running the
show. Giving us Hysteresis adjustment OMG, making it a music player another
OMG, just make the darn thing work man! I can listen to music on an 8
track player. I wanna fly my toy airplane.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Derek the question came as to what people want from Futaba.
Well here is your answer. Futaba Corp of America not Hobbico.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am sure a bunch of you are
watching the various threads on this, but if not and you have one of the
Futaba 2.4 systems, be careful. Apparently on a couple of occasions one
radio has shot down another. So far it has only been reported a couple
of times with the 6 and 7 channel modules only. The word on the forums
and I am not sure how accurate this is, is that some transmitters have been
shipped without programming a unique identifier into them. They have the
basic 0000… code. The receiver is bound to the transmitter’s supposedly
unique code. So if two transmitters have not been programmed with a
unique ID then any receiver bound to one of them will respond or be shot down
by the other, because they essentially have the same ID code. Again I am
not sure that this is suspicion or fact but be careful if you are flying one
until more is known.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
