Hi Steve, All twenty of the scale guys in the USA who 'might' buy that kind of TX....aren't. The Futa is there, but in the end, the guys realize that for the two MAYBE four times they are actually going to get to fly that mega channel scale ship, Y connectors will do the job....and because of the few times those giants are flown, their owners like your self have very little to do after getting the pilots head to move with the rudder, so having a clean slate mega TX give you something else to futz with, trust me I get it!
But those whacky JR guys decided to supply a radio that will serve 'most' of the rc guys, and it does that pretty well. So did you buy the new Futaba super radio? or is your MPX still working just fine?
