Modules for Futaba</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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.<BR><BR>No, I am not sponsored by
Spektrum (or anyone else!)!<BR></FONT></DIV>
