just to correct you its 7X
as i also have one!!!

HK / KDS 7X added to the list.

Thanks Already 7th highest out of 15 with 3 votes

2000+ members and only 90+ votes??

If all members were to vote, the Futaba 72Mhz will win by a huge margin.

hi guys,
mine is  a JR 35MHz
regards

Good bump... Don

With the flooding of the lower end market with the simpler 2.4Ghz radios, SunLikeStar's post above many not be true any more !

Why there is no turnigy + frsky in the poll 

Wouldn't they all go under the last one ?  Should we clarify that ?

I use a Futaba Skysport 4 (T4VF, 40 Mhz) and a Corona RP8D1, 40 Mhz.

Hi All

Happy to see all R/C enthusiasts at one Place.
I am new in this Forum.

I want to purchase 7 channel R/C 2.4 Ghz radio . But in a fix between Spectrum DX7s 7 Ch with AR8000 NO SX's MD2 [SPM7800] & Futaba 7 c . I  want to use radio for Airplanes & Heli,s both. I heard Futaba 7c better than Spectrum DX7 in terms of reliability when Spectrum uses Technology DSM2 . But now it is DSMX  . Anyone Suggest about selection of Radio . Can Airtronics or Sanwaa be a better substitute for Futaba or Spectrum ?

Hello

This could be a very good point of discussion. What is better Futaba, JR. Sanwa, Spectrum etc... etc.. This list cannot end. Like all other products in the market, every product has one better feature to attract the customers.

Here what we suggest,
1. Simply do not look at the technology and features. Try and find out which company gives you better product line up for the hobby. Meaning if you are flying airplanes and want to try helis, would that company (Futaba, Spectrum etc..) have the product line up to support your next step?
2. How easy it would be to get the spares and other required products? (Prime question as we are in India )
3. And finally, which product is used at the field where you would be flying. This is important as person who would training you might have different product and it might not match with your system.

If you decide (which we think you should) to go for Futaba, we generally have required sets in stock. Visit www.spherehobbies.com/india

Good luck and happy landings.

it only made sense for two of the above posts to go into this poll started by anwar bhai.

where is turnigy 9x ??

i have first and last.. i like both.

any option for two votes 

Spectrum has some good features like telemetry while futaba does not have telemetry.
but telemetry is really useful during flight ? have doubts?

With the world going electric, telemetry (of "remaining battery capacity") is extremely useful to such fliers.  Many people on our field are considering switching to radios (or thinking about getting add-ons) that provide this particular metric.  This allows them maximize flying time while preventing over-discharge of lipos. 

Futaba telemetry is available only on their highest end radio now... it will trickle down to others soon.

This is the single biggest reason for considering a telemetry equipped radio, as this is something that is useful every single flight.

When you are considering radios, some of the other considerations usually are :

1) Ease of charging and duration of how long a single charging lasts.

2) Availability and cost of additional receivers (if you have multiple aircrafts).

3) Compatibility at your field (for trainer/trainee sessions, availability of second hand receivers etc).

Basically think about things you will need routinely.  Not the one off stuff that you will need once in a blue moon.

yes amit...i am with you...+1

so , which one should i select?

Futaba 7c or Spectrum DX7s 7 Ch with AR8000 NO SX's MD2 [SPM7800].

Is Futaba still  more reliable than Spectrum DSMX ?

I don't think that's true. I am using DSM2 since more than an year and there are no reliability issues.
Buy the one which offers good features at a good price!
Not considering Sanwa?

Not sure that is true any more.  You are probably considering the active RC community of yester years.  The new reality is that shops like RCBazaar and RCForAll are now selling hundreds of Turnigy style 2.4Ghz radios every few months.

Plus many (most?) of the long time RC enthusiasts have now moved on from Mhz bands to the 2.4Ghz bandwagon.   

Just visiting any active field with lots of active members itself should put things in perspective.
