FrSky and clones should surely be listed as a choice being a very popular radio (especially when flash upgraded to ER9x)

I used to be a Futaba person but recently got a nice shiny dx8 and haven't look back. Lovely bit of kit and (fingers crossed) rock solid other than when I used an indoor/park-fly orange received that clearly was really only an indoor receiver. Since moving to a AR6115e I haven't had any problems at all.

Most modellers in former Yugoslavia were oriented in secure and trusted brands of TX /RX,because no services at that time,40 years ago.A most wanted brands were Multiplex and Futaba.I have had two Multiplex,but highly increased prices at that time,forced me to buy Futaba brand .Today I have two Futaba's .......and fly by T8FG ,lightweight and fine balanced ,for my ability- quite sufficient...

Thanks for Your time

Note:Even today, there is no repair services in Croatia..but I send ,defective devices,by mail, in Austria or Germany.

Had two Futaba sets in the past. Currently contemplating a Hitec AFHSS one mainly on cost & a good review in RCME. Probably stick with Futaba servos though.

I have always used Futaba Radio gear in all my planes and heli's, Dont know why as there is a lot of good competition to choose from,, probably because the first plane i bought was fully loaded with Futaba gear and a challenger Transmitter.

I am still old school using the FF9 on 35mhz....

Weasel.....disgust

Started with Futaba (35Mhz, then FASST), turned splitter for a while and went to Spectrum DX7 due to low cost of recievers, now back with Futaba (S-FHSS). After a few glitches and crashes with AR500's i lost all confidence in the Spectrum system; really hppy with Futaba, its almost idiot and bullet proof.
