MY Futaba 7CA

I finaly got my Futaba 7CA.It is basicly a 7Channel RC transmitter.
A brief discription of it
The Futaba 7C.

This radio is one of the most complex radios on the market and the most out of the radios I have looked at so far. Cosmetically the 7C and 9C look very different. Looking closer they have almost the exact same button setup. This is because the 7C was designed to be a little brother to the 9C. It has most, if not all, of the same mixing function of the 9C and the programming methods are exactly the same. The 7C is one of Futaba’s best radios and would be good as a step up from radios such as the 6EXA, 6XAS and other five or six channel computer radios. Over all it seems unnecessarily complex compared to the Hitec Eclipse 7, but about on par with the Airtronics radios.

As I said before, this radios main fault is its complexity. I feel I have to point out that it’s online manual is a maze of spelling and grammatical errors which were likely created in translation.

Not recommended for the beginning hobbyist.

Radio control planes

My current obsesion are radio control planes.They are the marvel of mordern technology.What is it basicly are model planes powered by either a electric motor(my prefference) or a engine.They are contrloed my the flyer who holds a transmitter(tx) and the plane ahs the reciver(rx) they rx recives the signals from the tx and acts.For more Info on RC planes check out Rc groups
