I like the possibilities unfortunately, like all new products, they are not quick to tell you how much it cost. Hopefully it will be in the price range of the economical RC flyer who can't afford to crash often.

so, i might just as well get the dx7 for 330.00. i was hoping prices were about 200.00 for module and reciever. i guess i'll wait a year to see if prices come down, and for the technology to prove itself.
all in all it is good news though. thanks guys for you constant vigilence!

Max.... when will you have one to test for us!!! Looking forward to hear about some feild use!!! Thanks again, made the right call, i just picked up a brand new 12zap in hopes of this !!!!

Just edited this... LOL as i know you probably just started a thread that will hit alot of posts.... I'm wondering if your sources can tell you if there will be a software update needed for this and the 12/14 mZ's somehow i don't think futaba is going to like this! LOL and i am not seeing them graciously writing an update for someone elses Module...... or do you think it will be Plug and Play like the 50/72 MHZ modules? This is awesome News! Thanks again FG!!!!

Is $40 that big of a deal for something like this? For $239 you get the module and the same RX that would be in the DX7 package.

First off. . Kudos and MAJOR ^5's to the Spektrum folks. This is a fantastic step forward for modelers. Inside of 3-5 years I'm predicting 72Mhz will be a thing of the past, and with prices coming down, even AM and PPM will be long gone.

Secondly, Max, to you and the Flying Giants crew in general. . GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!

The entire 2.4 ghz fascination, and discussions about aftermarket add-ons, competitors, and alternatives in this market has been, I'm sure, strenuous on the Mod crew. You guys deserve lots of free beer and frolicking dancing girls in thanks for your efforts in keeping things CIVIL for the many debates, arguments, and downright shooting standoffs during this time.

My Beer is YOUR beer at JN. . for ANY FG moderator who stops by or is thirsty at an inopportune moment at Joe Nall. i thnk you guys earned it.


I'm HOPING (though I'll be proven wrong) that all the attacks on Jim and the "other" aftermarket system will CEASE (you people know who youare). He still has a great product. I'm sure it will come to market. . I'm SURE there will be debate on it and comparisons between any 2.4G componentry and systems. I HOPE it will be a lot more civil than it has been.

10 Thumbs up Maxon. . .ya dun GUDE ! !
