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 obvious that the new JR 12X is the ultimate radio for all our applications. Granted I plan to keep my 9303's for my HLG's and Helicopters. But when it comes to the expensive big stuff there is just one choice, the 12X. By the way you might want to go over to the Horizon website and check out all the new Rx's made especially for the power usage's required in the IMAC models and large scale ships where a RX with real beef in the power department will keep you from getting those embarrassing expensive brownouts when you can least tolerate them. And for all of you guys running non DSM 2.4 systems and think you have the optimal RX installation, you are dreaming. Additional Auxiliary RX's are not a sign of a deficient system but a feature of a well thought out system that allows for fine tuning the RF paths in the model. I do fly quite a few 6 channel DSM RX's and have to fine tune the RX install because they small Rx's don't have data logger capability. I always check a new install with the 7 and 9 channel RX's with the data logger. It is quick and easy, and offers a serious peace of mind when you have you 2K moldy a mile and a half down wind. I believe that you will see 2.4 become the norm much quicker than predicted here, won't it be nice to run the SWC with NO TX impound?? Think about the cattle chute at Visalia disappearing? Oh Yea 2.4 is the ticket and the train has left the station. Larry Jolly Feeling the Difference
