Futaba 2.4 GHz, any good?

[JThiessen]

I've used that Futaba system and a Spektrum. I give Spektrum two thumbs up, and Futaba one thumb down. The Spektrum is much more intuitive to set up, and the manual is by far easier to read (the Futaba manual is poorly translated Japanese to English). Another nod to Spektrum is that you'd be putting some of your money into a US company. You can find DX3's used fairly cheap, and new DX2's are inexpensive.
