All Futaba module PLUS a AR7000 receiver combo are $109 now! Damn that's the price of a Futaba receiver alone!

Either they are starting a war with Futaba, or something new is coming in the pipeline...

Yeah I'm hoping this means futaba is going to be coming out with receivers that don;t lighten your wallet quite so much

All my Spektrum stuff has been flawless since the day I switched everything over about 2 years ago. Won't see me putting anything else in my helis anymore.

Esprit is one.

I had a spektrum module for my 14MZ, but got interaction, poor performance, annoying blinking light, today I have a 12FG with a FASST module and couldnt be happier, I rather stay with same-brand-module, and I think many are, thats why we see the pricedrop to get rid of them...

I have 12FG FASST for all my helis.
The DSM2 Air Module might be good on my older 9C for fixed wing use, due to receiver availability

They are also all over ebay, including the 14MZ module/7000 combo for same price. Some are even accepting $100 as best offers.

I am staying with FASST...but hopefully they will bring their receiver prices inline with Spektrum soon.

Now, I wish I have not purchase a TM-8 last week, having a hec of a time finding matching receiver R608FS. I could have gotten this Spectrum combo and flying it now for about the price that I pay for the TM-8 alone.
