That 10 channel is going to go through a lot of detail work to get it "just right"! We are VERY excited about the radio and we think we are going about it the "right way" by getting our best pilots as well as our customers involved with development. No product can be all things to all people, but we're going to do the best we can to make it as good as possible! Dale, glad you love Airtronics. Frankly, I'm a convert. I flew Futaba and Hitec for years. Both had served me well. Switching to Airtronics was a little odd at first, but the feel of the radio won me over (that and our in-house technician is brilliant, thus I know service will always be proper...) Our R&D pilot here, Russ Greaves, always flew with Airtronics too and was always a little bitter when I used to have him fly my old planes with my "other brand" radio.. He's a LOT happier now... Thanks to you both for posting here too! It's great to hear from Airtronics pilots! Mike Ken, I’m glad you could stop by.
