I am getting parts gathered for my 40% sukhoi, I need 3 JR matchboxes, does anyone out there have any they would like so sell?
So a Taranis??????Motowncali said:Get a radio with enough channels built in to match them on the radio
Why buy a new radio? My dx9 is a great radio, I just have multiple servos on one surface, so this just makes set up easier.Motowncali said:Get a radio with enough channels built in to match them on the radio
If you'd pay retail price(I'm not saying you will, but they used to go for $100 each if I'm not mistaken) for equipment, then Taranis is a lot cheaper option.click the pirate said:Why buy a new radio?

I would never trust a 5k plus plane with a cheaper radio! On what planet does that make any sense!? If it were a foamy I might consider it, but not on my big planes!BlockBuster said:If you'd pay retail price(I'm not saying you will, but they used to go for $100 each if I'm not mistaken) for equipment, then Taranis is a lot cheaper option.click the pirate said:Why buy a new radio?

I will say yes the taranis is an inexpensive radio but it has proven itself. One guy I have been talking with over on FG is running it on all his stuff now of which most is 35-40% fatties with no problem. I have to say it is a very capable radio and I'm loving mine. I love it so much that as soon as I have enough FRSKY receivers for all my planes I will be selling off all my futaba stuff.click the pirate said:I would never trust a 5k plus plane with a cheaper radio!

I'm another who switched from a Futaba 12FG FASST to a Taranis. It was a scary thing to do by going from a $1000 radio that worked perfectly to a $200 radio. It took about 6 months to totally convert my entire RC air force from the 12FG/FASST to the Taranis/ACCST because during this time I was constantly trying to prove to myself that the Taranis and FrSky ACCST was an inferior radio to the Futaba 12FG and FASST. After 6 months of progressively and successfully flying more and more valuable planes, I finally gave up trying to find fault with the Taranis/ACCST and completed the conversion. That was over two years ago, and the Taranis and the FrSky ACCST radio system has continued to work perfectly every time. I now trust the Taranis ACCST to fly anything just as much as my old 12FG FASST. While I still consider the Taranis to be inexpensive, I no longer consider it to be cheap.click the pirate said:I would never trust a 5k plus plane with a cheaper radio!

That was exactly where I was at when I got my taranis from hooks. I figured I would use it on anything 20cc and smaller but after using it and doing lots of reading and video watching I realized it will he just fine in whatever I want to put it in. My 20cc moass60 is still the biggest plane I'm flying it in currently but only because I have not picked up any more receivers yet to switch out my two 55cc birds. Oh and the programming possibilities with OpenTX are freaking unreal.McDDD said:I'm another who switched from a Futaba 12FG FASST to a Taranis.
