Wow, I guess I'll tell the guy I know that flies a $13,000.00 turbine powered jet with Spektrum that he's a total idiot and needs to burn all his cheap chinese crap immediately. Oh, and that he needs to go back to futaba which is what he had before he had spektrum. I'll try not to be offended by that. Well that didn't work. Oh, I have also owned airtronics and I've tried futaba and jr and I like my spektrum. Guess I'm too much of a noob to know programming. I do know that easy programming doesn't get old once you get more experience. I don't like to have something that's more complicated just so I can say I know more than someone else.
So, if Futaba has been around for sooooo much longer than spektrum, yet everyone (according to you) has spektrum, then why did anyone leave futaba? Could it be that they enjoyed the easier programming? Oh and maybe I like the fact that I can take my one radio and fly everything I own, including my ultra micro planes, helis, nitro planes and helis....everything. And I can do it without adding a module or anylink or anything.
So you've owned them all huh. I have a DX8, my friend has a DX7s, another friend has a Futaba 8FG super and he's thinking of going over to spektrum because he likes them better. Oh, and we all fly Nitro 3D helis. Guess we don't have any clue what we're talking about.
Well my opinion is that I like my Spektrum and I didn't come here to bash anyone else for what they like, I just started this thread to alert others to a good deal. So if you really feel the need to trash people, do it somewhere else.
