I've used Futaba since 1970. I've tried Airtronics and Spectrum and have always come back to Futaba.

+1 for a Futaba believer. I have 2ch Magnum Sports and Mag Juniors back in the '80s. Never ever had an issue. Currently, I have 3 4PL radios in my arsenal. The only non-Futaba radio that I've tried was the stock Axial AX3 setup. Not bad, but I started having pot issues. Never tired Airtronics or Spektrum. I'm Futaba for life.

Started with futaba in the 80s and strayed to spektrum when I came back to the hobby after a break. I'm back to futaba now and won't be changing anytime soon. The build quality and feel of futaba is far better than spektrum.

Ok thank you for the replies . I know when I flew planes that is all I used is Futaba . I am going to go next week and look at getting a Futaba set up for my axial wrath and look at a Grave digger for the kid to play with

Used to be a Spektrum fan, but made the jump to futaba about two years ago and couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong I still like Spektrum......but Futaba feels better and no glitches. Cheers, Wade |
