But that said, I think you’d be remiss not to look at the Airtronics SD-10G
radio. At sub $400, it’s on par with even the 12FG as far as features are
concerned and the 2.4 reliability and range have been excellent. Like Futaba,
it’s a true frequency hopping system. 5 flight modes, everything assignable to
everything (channels and switches), stick switches, 9 pt curves on the custom
mixes and on and on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

problem I face is that I use many of the functions in the WC2 and I don’t want
to lose any of them with out spending a large amount of money on a Futaba
14mz. They are many transmitters on the market that may work for me but I
am having a hard time find which transmitters have the functions I am looking
for. It is not as simple as asking in the local hobby store, they don’t
seam to understand how conditions are used for in a fixed wing aircraft and the
websites are not to clear and it’s not like I can try them all! <o:p></o:p></p>
