Anyone that has a Graupner HoTT Radio?

As per the title, anyone out there in RCHA land that uses one of the Graupner HoTT systems? The MZ-18 in particular. If so, what are your opinions on the Transmitters? Well made? Good features? Do the voice and telemetry systems work well?

+1 (sorry to piggyback your thread) looks very good for the price!

Not at all Sheldrake.

Went and had a look at one yesterday Sheldrake. Some great features and nice touches. I was particularly impressed by the capabilities of the receivers - full telemetry out of the box and able to emulate S-Bus, apparently. But there's no model matching - even have to rebind to receivers every time you change to a different helicopter. And the build and component quality! Absolutely shocking. Especially the quality of the switches. Although the movement in the gimbals felt very light and smooth.

Excellent price, some impressive features but not particularly multi model friendly and not particularly good components used. Most of the money looks to be going into the touch screen and receivers. If you can stretch to it, the MZ-24 is a better buy mainly because it comes with a carry case, Lithium battery and extra receivers but it is essentially the same unit as the MZ-18. I was looking at changing from Spektrum and my DX8 to Graupner and this unit but now I'm just going to replace my DX8 with a DX9, I think.
