I have a Spektrum module on my Futaba Tx and I hate the cobbed up antenna scheme that they come with. If anyone finds a GOOD replacement antenna, let me know.</DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">1) Buy a native 2.4g transmitter. If you go this route, you will have advantages. Typically you will have a lower latency if you go this route (quicker response). With the Futaba radios, like my 10C, you can use various FASST recievers without having to worry if they are 1024 (7ch or lower) or 2048 (8ch or higher). You only have to tell the transmitter which it is when you program a new model. With the native 2.4g Spektrum/JR you have the "model match" feature that you won't get if you buy a Spektrum module. And, to my knowledge, this is the only way to get more than 8 channels transmitted (I may be wrong)</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">2) Buy a Futaba module. You will be limited to 8 channels (with the TM-8 module) since this uses the PPM mode output of the transmitter. This module has a 7/8 channel switch that you have to change if you fly different planes with different receivers (1024 vs 2048). Very small switch, pain to change, and probably not made to change very often. I prefer the antenna on this to the Spektrum modules, and it is very easy to change back/forth with 72 MHz modules. I have a TM-8 module, but hardly use it anymore. I have migrated all my stuff over to my 10C radio.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">3) Buy a Spektrum module. You are still limited to 8 channels. I don't like the coax cable hanging out of the module going to the external antenna. The big advantage to this is all the bind-n-fly stuff out there, and is exactly the reason I have one.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Knowing what I know now, I would recommend you get a Spektrum module, and buy a native 2.4g transmitter (like the 8FG or 10C). Use your 9C to fly the bind-n-fly stuff and the new radio for everything else. But, this is JMHO, FWIW.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
