    Awesome! Great to hear. But I think I've got two problems. One, the 48 is going to be a tough fit into a sedan's trunk, as my 41'' basically fills up 90% of it as it is..(either a Chevy Malibu or a Honda Civic) hmm.. and two, I don't think it's safe to fly such a large model at my small local...

    ...and more expensive :( Not sure but I'll think about it. $150 for an airframe is insane... and I wouldn't be able to afford electronics until I sold my current 41'' Edge, but yeah I'll see :) Dan

    Hmmm... I'm hoping to get the 8FG by the weekend :) but IDK if that'll happen, even if it got shipped out tomorrow... hmmm I'm also thinking about building a 3DHS 42'' Slick or the 48'' Edge for my birthday! :) Dan

    Holy crap, found an 8FG.. $250 without receivers. Those go for $380 new... dang I think I'm going to have to get it! :D Might have to cancel the order for the 8J... we'll see what happens. :) Dan

    Well... actually I'm not biased, but I am expecting quite a bit upon getting it based on what you guys have said about Futaba in general. I'll try to get an unboxing video :) Dan

    Great minds think alike, because that's exactly what I was thinking! I had to close a thread down on the other forum though, because I was getting a lot of hate for not purchasing a 8FG or JR 9303! (in the sailplane forum :() oh well, I think my glider will fly fine... LOL sometimes people...

    I just ordered the Futaba 8J. Not bad, I got it for $270 shipped with the receiver included. I'll tell you how it is when I get it, I'm really excited. I figured that I should just go with something good, the 6J kind of lacked in capability. Either way, I think I'll be very happy with it...

    I'm hoping to get it with an RX (brand new, the guy bought it for Christmas) for $350 shipped. The 7C is $270 shipped and comes with 5 RXs though... And yes the peace of mind will be great :D :) Dan

    Wow, today is my lucky day. Got $195 from the DX6i and both a 8FG Super and a 7C popped up in the classifieds on the other forum, for pretty good prices!. Hopefully I'll get one of the two, but I'm going for the 8FG first! :D :) Dan

    Honestly I just want to try Futaba LOL... the link issues just pushed me over the edge, honestly. But link issues are link issues... I made a mistake buying the DX6i and should've waited until I had the cash to get what I really wanted. :) Dan

    Hmmm I'm still not sure what to do. 8FG is too expensive... I'm deciding between the 7C or one of the 8J/6J ones. I'm also starting back into DLG so I'll need some basic programming for those (expo and dual rates :p), but other than that I don't even think I'll need 7 or 8 channels in the...

    Well hmmm... I can get a 7C with a receiver for $205 shipped, new, or the 8FG for $250, shipped, used, without an RX. But I don't really think I need the features of the 8FG :confused:

    Also, what have you guys heard about the new DMSS lineup from JR? :confused: Haven't hear much about them. Just wondering, probably won't get one. :) Dan

    I'm not dismissing him. I'm saying that I had these same problems with two completely different planes with completely different servos, with different radios and different RXs. The one thing in common between the issues was that it was Spektrum. Thanks for the info! :) Dan

    No no no it's not the Spektrum radios that are the issue, I was getting high 2.4 GHz interference on VIDEO when I flew with 2.4 GHz for FPV video and 72 MHz for control at my location. I really just want to try FHSS or FASST because I've heard that they're both more robust links than Spektrum...
