Where is my brain? That will teach me to start typing before I wake up.... For some reason I was thinking about the recent 9c radios (I own 2) instead of the Z. I had the first hitec radio with the spectra module and specifically looked for synthesized modules (early 90's?) when I bought my first 8ua?, I don't remember futaba even having one, but this is strictly empirical, not conclusive. It appears that I need to start chowing down on some crow! So when did futaba have their first module and when did hitec come out with one. As the one of the other posts, I remember the "little red brick"(not so little) My first airplane had one. I wish one of the new guys on the block would come out with a sub micro brick with 2 servos, rx and esc.......
