I remember when I got my first Stylus in the early90's,it was and is, aclassic Radio. However radio design did not stop in 1991.I was involved in discussions for at least 3 new radio designs for Sanwa, that werealways canceled. It took 4 years to get the 94761 Servo in to our hands, this drove Ron nuts because he knew We all had JR servos in our Gliders. I can remember many meetings with Sanwa Engineers where they patiently listened to what We wanted, and nodded in agreement. Then 6 months down the road, it was like We had never had the discussion. We were crying for a new Glider Card, but it wasn't possible. Did you ever stop to wonder Why there is not Stylus replacement from Sanwa? The truth is the Stylus was designed here in America as a project for Airtronics. I think it was by the same Team that did the software for the Vision.Sanwa has never designed a radio with all the features of the Stylus. I am not saying they can't do it, I'm just looking back at my experience with Sanwa,where they chose not to do it.If you guys are waiting for Sanwa to come up with your Stylus replacement, you might get tired of waiting, I knowI did.

Re: [RCSE] The Stylus, Airtronics, and Houdini
Yes its one of those new technical terms like ping lag and whackadoo :) But the context was used inappropriately. Seriously they way I type out a message and typically fail to hit spellcheck I would be surprised if there are not more errors than this. This is also slightly ironic because although Sanwa/ Airtronics has created arguably the most amazing glider oriented product to date for a TX for the last several years soaring specialists have been largely uncluded in any new developments. That being said the Stylus has stood the test of time in part due to its feature rich offering that is only just now being matched by JR and Futaba.
