G'day Andrew
You pose an interesting question. As Drew stated pretty much all club members are 2.4 gig Spektrum or JR user. I suspect that we got that way as we had heaps of advice and support to give each other due to the common equipment.
I fly a Spektrum DX8 which us a great tx however there has been some issues involving software updates and a full product recall.
Now to throw the cat in the bag a few of the guys have had issues with Spektrum in that a hold has been experienced causing some nasty crashes. We have a couple of Futaba users who to my knowledge had have no issues of any type.
If I was not baulking at the cost of replacing 15 or so receivers I would have a Futaba right now! I have read about the hitec optic9 and that looks like a top radio with a very cool suite of telemetry gadgets.
Cheers
