    His radio gear is my radio gear (more or less). But, yes, you have to take into account his sponsored status when listening to what he says. Notwithstanding that, he puts over a very good case for the product. As I say, it is a good sales job, and I am pretty sure I will be buying one.

      I still don't understand why they don't just integrate the receiver into the flybarless unit itself?

        And a governor, so take ~£40-50 off again.

        I like this logic, coz now it costs the same as a BeastX (or so I'll tell myself )

        £340 with the Rx, and £280 without, so still very pricey!

              I think you will find that the combo will ship with the 6203SB rx which is about £60.

                But you probably won't be buying it from Ripmax and if anything goes wrong with it you still won't have to deal with Ripmax.

                No disagreement there, but you are couching this in terms as if the Futaba doesn't work or has some bad bugs. You are prejudging the product before you have had a chance to see it or try it.

                  I dont got no Beastx's Im afraid.


                  Kel, when them Vbars pop up let me know as I 'll grab 1, or 3

                  Gorber, I always take what a sponsored or associated pilot say very losely as all they are really are salesmen, nothing more nothing less

                  If Bobby jumped to Beastx they would then they would be the better but we all know this I'm just spouting rubbish now.
                  Oh one I would trust is Bert K as he even said there was better out there than Align and this was while he was still with them. Erm, funnily enough a month or 2 before he left!!!!

                      Like I say, I bear it in mind that he is sponsored, but I found his video very believable. Maybe I am gullible.

                      On a related note, I also believe sponsored pilots on here as well. But the same applies, I always bear in mind that they are sponsored and so limited in what they might be able to say.

                      They may try to ommit things, but not many people (if any) in our hobby would come out with an out and out lie just for the sake of their sponsor. I hope not anyway.

                      I intend to buy one, and I will find out if it is good or not. Well, actually, to be more accurate, I will see how well it does hovering and gentle circuits, cause I ain't that good a pilot

                        I hope the tails a lot better than their last excuse of a gyro (gy520 )

                        I think they need to price it better to try and get a Market share

                          pre ordered tonight-vbars going shortly-happy days :-) was hoping to use vbars until the spartan one drops but i'm sick of them already with one thing and another. hopefully these prove to be better-time will tell.

                          i don't see what the problem is with the pricing? it is pretty much idential-if not cheaper than my bluelines with pro update on them. should also say in terms of internal hardware the futaba unit blows the current crop out the water so value for money atleast in components is very good imo.

                          cheers

                              But seriously, that explains the extra menus just appeared on the software upgrade last week. My now 14 channel 8fg has gyro settings for Aileron and Elevator, can set govenor by dialing in the desired RPM.

                              It it flys it for me as well I'll go buy a Spektrum,
