I too had a RD8000 the 72mhz version I'm guessing the 2.4 version has the same software.
And I agree with Mike it is a great radio for electrics and 2 to 4 channel sailplanes and handlaunch the RD8000 is light but has a inexpensive look to it, the RD8000 seems geared to power and heli's. RD8000 is lacking for F3X needs Like sliders, flight modes, 6 servo control, 3 position switches to name a few. I now have ONE radio that fly's all my toys and that's the way it should be. joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Fox<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Soaring@airage.com<mailto:Soaring@airage.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:39 AM Subject: Re: [RCSE] The Stylus, Airtronics Hi Guys, From what I have heard from Airtronics also is, that the new 10 channel is being developed and hopefully out to the public in Feb. 09. Sanwa is using the same engineers that developed the Stylus. They also said there are plans to make a 2.4ghz module to fit the Stylus as it is still a good and popular radio. There is also talk about a higher end radio down the road, maybe 14 channel, good for our large Scale ships. I just got the Airtronics RDS8000 and flew it last weekend in a electric. Worked flawlessly! The RDS8000 does not have sliders for soaring, but it was not really intended to be that kind of radio. I think it is a excellent middle of the line radio. It has alot of mixing availible. I will fly my electric planes, heli and will try some sailplanes to figure out the 2.4 stuff. I think there is some good stuff coming :-) Mike Fox RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
