Gordy, if you were flying more complex scale sailplanes requiring upwards of 14 channels, you might better appreciate the flexibility and ease of programming that open programming offers. It ain't for everyone. AERF sailplanes have far simplier radio requirements.
I just came back from flying in Europe. The top scale sailplane guys there are moving over to Futaba FX-30 and FX-40 radios as they are the only 14 channel radios around, feature the closest thing to MPX open programming and the 2.4 implementation does not require the kluge of multiple receivers.
