futaba 9c upgade to specktrem vs FASST i have been flying a futaba 9c for about 7yrs now and fly all my giant scale and warbirds with it. i love this radio and want to keep it although i would like to upgrade it to 2.4 so i limit my chances of getting shot down over someone turning on a radio. i have never had a "hit" flying 72mhz but better safe then sorry. i have called both futaba and specktrem, they both have an upgrade for the older 9c. i have a friend that but a futaba 2.4 fasst oh his 40% bird with a power box and almost lost the plane due to the reciever becoming debound from the tranmitter. after his lengthy call to futaba in his words they said that they were having a few cases of this happining and should take out the powerbox and that should solve the problem. not liking the answer he went back to 72mhz. i called specktrem and they hands down told me there would never be a problem with that set up if i put there udgrade in my transmitter. so not wanting to beleive what a manufacture told me i thought i would put it up and see what real people were or are doing and what they are running in there planes and see if anyone else was having the same problems. thanks for the help
