If you want some different stick ends through some research I learned that Airtronics and Futaba both share 3mm sticks so these will work.

I started this venture with Airtronics, then went to Hitech, then Futaba and back to Airtronics. Just can't beat the reliability and simple programming. I just wish they would throw in multiple servo per surface matching so I could get rid of the matchboxes and just run the dual rx's and be done with it :) Although, I think I would have to have more channels to allow 3 servos per wing. A 14 channel radio would work just fine :)

I have those on my Futaba TX. As a thumb flyer, I guarantee they will never slip on you but they might draw blood!

Just the way I like it!! I'm kina a hybrid pincher and thumb flyer, I rest my thumb on top of the stick and wrap my index finger around the front of the stick. Without aggressive points the sticks can slip off my fingers when doing fast rapid movements (fast point rolls and tight rolling circles where there's a lot of fast movements from full throw one way to the other)

Yep!! I was kinda having an issue with the slow product development last year about this time. I learned that the 10GS only changed a few things from the 10G over just the nicer case and it kinda upset me.

But I did a lot of shopping and just couldn't force myself to leave (some of that is my family has been using Airtronics since the late 70's lol). I will never buy Futaba (I just kinda have a thing against Hobbico, personal thing) so that left JR, Spectrum and Hitec. Hitec has GREAT servos but as for Transmitter and RX tech, they are only a small step ahead of ATX because of telemetry (which I have no use for).

We have a DX18 to test fly our sUAS platforms for work, and I'm never really impressed with it. Seems like the programming is cumbersome and I don't know if it has the channel assignability that the 10G does (or at least I cant figure out how to do it! lol).

Never owned a JR, but I don't really care for the Idea of satellite receivers I just like my 2 antenna ATX.

Again, ALL OF THESE RADIOS ARE GREAT RADIOS, They just aren't for me.

But I also would love a 14-16 Channel radio from ATX with the FHSS-3 modulation cause the latency time is CRAZY fast. I do think that a Software download could at least give us a 4 servo aileron feature that would eliminate the need for matching devices for 100cc class birds which would just tickle me pink :D .

On a not quite so important issue, I wish they would give us some more SWAG options!!!! lol I buy a shirt from Mike G every year at Toledo, and by the next year I need another... He better have shirts there this year!! lol
