I thought 2.4 was all the rage. People abandoning 72 and ham band en masse to use 2.4 and selling everything off. So, why are we not seeing it as much in the sailplane world? At the SW Classic there were not nearly as many as I expected. I did not get the count but it was far less than we

Darwin, I think your answer lies in the unique qualities and general low numbers of the soaring communities. INMHO I think the lack of Soaring adoption into 2.4 occurs for a few reasons that follow but are not limited to: The standard TX for many soaring enthusiasts is the Sanwa / Airtronics

If Futaba's system is THE 2.4 system to have why isn't there support for the other brands? I think JR / Spektrum / Horizon have done a good job in nudging people to their equipment by offering other brand support. I can point you towards many happy former futaba fliers that converted to the 2.4

I'm a little biased being on Team Futaba. Despite the brand loyalty, I've looked at all of them and find the Futaba 2.4 receivers the most practical for the soaring application. Darwin, I can't fault you for being a little biased being a team flyer and all. But in all fairness it is
