Alright guys.... LMAO....that was pretty good David. So at long last, it is here and I will show you all. I had to let my son play with it before I was allowed to post any photos. LOL. That said....winner, winner chicken dinner. David (@HRRC Flyer) guess it right off. First let me say, thanks fellas for playing along with my silly little game. I love doing this to you gents. LOL. Now, without further ado, the radio. Ah but first let me say...hee hee… It took a long time for me to be sure and a "LOT" of convincing. But I did pull the trigger on the MZ32. I talked with Manny at Graupner USA and he told me that this radio has more capability than a good percentage of average everyday end users will ever use. Well, ok...that is all well and good, but what will it do? His response was, "A better question is what will it not do"? Not much. Dang well, if you all go to the Graupner web site, it will tell you everything you need to know.

I especially like SW2 and SW6. They are three position, but the third position is momentary. In essence, hold for function and let go. It returns to second position. This would come in handy for on board starting systems to make your plane even more scale in function. First position is your ignition. Then pull/push forward and starter is activated. Once engine is started, release and starter disengages and motor is running. Both 2 and 6 used together would be great on a twin engine. Another really cool feature is that you can sync engines like on a B29 to spool up Port wing engines to assist right hand turns. Spool up Starboard wing engines for left hand turns. Ground handling is greatly improved with this feature. There is just so much this radio can do, it is just overwhelming. In my mind? It is one "SICK" radio. Manny also told me, (because I asked) there will be a firmware upgrade coming later this year for the radio to enable a photo of your model being loaded to the radio and then displayed when selected from the menu. It is in the radio now, but not functional until the firmware upgrade. How cool would that be? I want to fly my newest creation, the Pilot RC 330sc. Select it from menu and that gorgeous beast is now on the display. Ah yeah!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. In the second to last photo you will see a circle with a question mark in it. So here is what it does. The manual is very-"VERY" thin. Why? Because you push the question mark on the front screen and a complete list of instructions guides...."WALKS" you through your complete setup for each function. Ok, this is total bad ass if you ask me.

I could go on all night fellas. But honestly you know as much about this radio as I do. Time to start playing with it. LOL.

I’m glad I didn’t bet against David. Cause my money was on Jeti. Looking forward to your full report on the Graupner.

Cool thing is, Graupner and Jeti are basically in the same class in Europe. According to Manny, Jeti is the "ONLY" competitor that Gruapner has. Apparently they are pretty much on the same scale. One of my friends here has the Jeti radio. It is beyond amazing. I will do my best to fill in any blanks for you fellas on the MZ32.

Had a "gut" feeling it would be that radio but was not certain. Didn't you have a MZ24 once and return it??? and go back to your HiTech X9??? Careful! The radio wizards are watching so HiTech has a release just around the corner to "blow away" the competition I bet LOL
I did in fact have an MZ24. I just could not acclimate to it. I think I was looking for excuses to "not" like the Graupner. So I sold it. But with Hitec "NOT" releasing a new radio to fit our demands, I....I....I, well I jumped ship. They forced me to walk the plank and I jumped. The 32 actually feels so "right" in my hands. I love the gimbals. And the ability to change the face to "Blue, Black, Gold, Silver and Carbon Fiber", well...what can you say? Ya dress your red head up in a blonde wig and she is still the firecracker inside. Just a little more coy in attitude. LOL.

Very nice. I will admit I was hoping you where gonna to the cheap route like I did with some form of the Taranis and using OpenTX but I still think you made an excellent choice. From most of what I have read it will do pretty much anything the open source hardware in the taranis will do but is a little more intuitive in how you set it up.
