Thanks for the comments guys. The plane will be RTF as soon as my receiver comes back from Futaba, and after I paint the cowling hatch and pants. Also, I'm about to change the diaphragm and gaskets on the DA-50's carb. It's pretty much getting a mini-overhaul. Maybe another week or two. Depending on how long Futaba takes to send my RX back. Also, I am radio-less and the moment, sold my 9C. 9Z on the way but that'll come in next week.

the 9303 is absolutely the awsomeest freakin schweeet radio I have ever seen, if you still have a chance to buy one. It was the absolute best investment I ever made in the hobby, You can do anything with all 9 chanels anyway and if looks and feels so good. but oh well.......

I agree with you in that it's a good deal for the money. I have worked with 9303's, but i still like the 9Z better
