Which radio do you use out at your field??

I use Futaba and JR myself, but Futaba is my planes main mode for controll.


Justin

I use Futaba. :) Have three of them....Two (T6XA) One (SKYSPORT 4)

Don

I can't click on one either.

Futaba 6 channel skyport
Futaba 8UAF
Futabe 9ZWCII
JR 10X

(11)Airtronics, (1)Futaba and (1)Hitec. Looking for an American Made.Any sources? :o

WoW!!!! :) Just betwene the three of us, Total (13) ........(7) Futaba..(4) Airtronics..
(1) J.R.....(1) Hitec..... Futaba in the lead.... :dance:

Justin, didn't say how many of what he has???????

I have 2 Jr. :wub:

I also have a couple of Hitec receivers and alot of Hitec servos. I have nothing against Futaba, I just started back with JR and they aren't compatible. I personally think the best radio for the money is the Futaba 9C. IMHO

I used to have airtronics, hitec, jr and futaba. It got to be to much of a pain to figure out which radio went with which plane. I decided to go with the futaba because of the expanded memory and that I already had quite a few receivers, servo extensions etc. I can put up to 40 models in my 8u memory now and if I sell a plane to someone with the same radio I can transfer the programming to there radio very easy. Like Billy, I think the 9c is probably one of the best radios for the money you can get. I have 4 futaba radios now but fly all but 1 plane with the futaba super 8.

I think you are right about the 9c jon :) When I bought my 2nd T6XA, Billy told me to get the 9c!!! WELL" My next one will be the 9c.... I need to pay a little more attention to the guys in the know :banghead:

I have 2 Futaba, 2 Hitecs, 1 JR.


Justin

4 Futaba's.....It's easier to stick with one you know its all compatable.....by the way Ive got a Jr receiver I found in a plane I bought,I cant use it so if anyone wants one real cheap....I really dont know if it works (no way of testing it)

What JR receiver is it. :huh:


Justin

Don't know why I didn't post what type it is....R600 6 ch. FM. Also if anyone has a Futaba compatable rec. they would want to trade for... that would be ideal.

Also it needs a new ant. I kinda cut it...before I realized it was there.

Oh...and its on Ch. 16

I am all for Futaba :yes:

I have 4Futaba raidio ;s I love the Way they are set up
:usaflag: :fullmoon: :pylon: :3DingPlane: :trans_icon: :3dCrash: :toot: :tank: :shark: :duck_egg:

A Futaba 7C that I love and my Hitec Laser 4 that I learned to fly with.

IMHO, JR is the way to go. I've got 3 JR radios, 2 Futabas, and one Hitec. I got the Fut's and Hitec by purchasing airplanes that were using those brand radios. All my JR radios were bought new. They are much more user friendly and are also easier to hold due to their advanced ergonomics. They are a little more expensive, but I believe the added cost is worth it.

i have the futaba 6exa and i love it :wub:

Nice radio! :thumbup:

It should do well for you for a long time to come.

I have to Futabas, A 9cap and a 6 exa. By the way the 6exa is forsale. :usaflag: :D :fishing:

Just to let you know the 6EXA has been sold. :D

I have a Futaba 6EX and an old Conquest 4 of some sort. Searching for my next radio now, debating on whether I'd ever use an 8th and 9th channel. hades, I'll probably never even use the 7th, but having multiple model memory is a must.

I have 2 Futaba's - 6EXA and a 4VF - both on Channel 48.

Hi Mike,
You'd be suprised how quick you can use up those extra channels!!!! If you get a little nicer aerobatic bird you'll end up using a second channel for the ailerons (so you can do spoilerons or flaperons), a second channel on the elevators (If you have dual elevator servos you can use a second channel to make sure the elevators move the same distance all thru the throw) then add smoke, retracts etc etc etc...

Jon

HI Mike, like John said they do get used more than you think. Something like the Futaba 9c series radio will do fine for just about anything. Very popular radio at the field also.

Well I opted for the 7C for now. The way I look at it, by the time I have a model big/nice enough to require 8+ channels, purchasing a 9C won't be too much of a problem. I think the 7C will do everything I need it to for now. Thanks for the input guys.

I currently have a Futaba 9CHP and an older Futaba 8UHP

One that works is the way to go! JR :boxers: Futaba

I have a futaba and e-flight (heli) But I will most likely be getting a Spectrum(JR)
if the heli version will do what I want it too! :thumbup:

Started out with a Futaba Skyport 6 and then I bought a Futaba 7C later. Like going from a VW to a Caddy. Now I can program control changes that makes flying much easier.
I can also set up 10 different aircraft and it remembers settings for each. Best money I have spent on this hobby.

I have a futaba 6exa, skysport 6, two skysport 4's, a conquest 6, conquest 4, hitec 6, and a spektrum dx7. :wacko: Mike Callen

Come on Justin! You forgot the best one Spektrum!

Jake

Spectrums might not have been on the market yet back when this poll was started, Jun 4 2004, 10:27 AM :huh: :unsure:

I have FUTABA radio(4 channel -cheap one),I need a 9 channel of some sort.which
is it again Jon?something "Gooder" than what I got. :hysterical: kenny :thumbup: .

As Alvin said spektrum wasn't even out then.

Maybe you should pay more attention to dates next time
you open your mouth!! (actually before you move your fingers) :D

lol, good point... dont even look at those anymore...

Jake

I have 2 Futaba radios, and 1 JR.
