I also have a couple of Hitec receivers and alot of Hitec servos. I have nothing against Futaba, I just started back with JR and they aren't compatible. I personally think the best radio for the money is the Futaba 9C. IMHO

I used to have airtronics, hitec, jr and futaba. It got to be to much of a pain to figure out which radio went with which plane. I decided to go with the futaba because of the expanded memory and that I already had quite a few receivers, servo extensions etc. I can put up to 40 models in my 8u memory now and if I sell a plane to someone with the same radio I can transfer the programming to there radio very easy. Like Billy, I think the 9c is probably one of the best radios for the money you can get. I have 4 futaba radios now but fly all but 1 plane with the futaba super 8.

4 Futaba's.....It's easier to stick with one you know its all compatable.....by the way Ive got a Jr receiver I found in a plane I bought,I cant use it so if anyone wants one real cheap....I really dont know if it works (no way of testing it)

Don't know why I didn't post what type it is....R600 6 ch. FM. Also if anyone has a Futaba compatable rec. they would want to trade for... that would be ideal.

IMHO, JR is the way to go. I've got 3 JR radios, 2 Futabas, and one Hitec. I got the Fut's and Hitec by purchasing airplanes that were using those brand radios. All my JR radios were bought new. They are much more user friendly and are also easier to hold due to their advanced ergonomics. They are a little more expensive, but I believe the added cost is worth it.
