<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>I have one of the Spektrum modules for Futaba in my 12Z. Yes it's a good deal and they work fine but the one that I have gets its signal through the trainer port NOT the RF module connector. This means there's an additional wire dangling out the back and you're going through the analog trainer port. The 9c module may be different so check that before you make a decision. The other thing is the antenna connector + wire + adapter. It's kind of a cob job. It works but it aint pretty. I did see a nice screw-on 2.4 GHz antenna somewhere but I can't remember where. That would clean things up considerably.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>I have a Futaba 9C currently on 72 MHZ. I see that both Futaba and Spektrum have conversion packages for 2.4 access. Any comments on either or both?
