I am about to buy a new radio. These two models seem to be about whatI want, but which one do I choose?I understand there won't be many who have tried both, so my questionsgo to those who have either one:- What do you like about it?- What do you not like about it?- Would you recommend it?

I use the JR PCM 9X (not the 9XII), I have not used the futaba so am not qualified to give an oppinion on how well it works, but I have held both and find the JR set to be better ballanced and somehow more 'solid'.I really like the intuative way in which JR set is programed and hardly ever have to refer to the manual.In the end I think you need to go to a store (or you club) and have a good look (and feel) of both sets side by side and make a personal choice.

JR 9XII or Futaba 9C Super?

Yeah, Doug, that is a significant downside to the add-ons. But we deal with that currently, and, so far, successfully. However, that would be the one thing that might move me to a dedicated 2.4 GHz system.

But who'd actually trust a helicopter to a sub $20 rx?

In another place, I would claim a "whoosh" there, but I'll let you off in favour of a long winded explanation.

I agree with you on the maiming thing though.
