Hi guys.

I advise to do not buy it.
It has a fault and do not works well in MODE 4.
The Throttle/Pitch trim is spoilt in MODE 4.
I recommend to you to wait and we hope that Futaba arranges this problem as soon as possible.

LOL Andika, who do you think cares about mode 4! And can you ever post with ordinary plain black text like the rest of us. The red/bold does not give your post any more credibility or importance.

Hehe, funny little chap this "Andika"...He is is all over different forums with his stupid "warnings".
The problem he found out is that nobody cares about him or Mode4, so that is why he initiates these threads.
I do not think he actually have reported his problems with the shop where he bought it, so I assume he bought it overseas and the local shop/importer tells him to sod off and make his claims where he bought the radio. That is perhaps not a easy, and now he feel stuck and then lash out on these forums.
Perhaps he now learned the hard way that the big savings he made by buying overseas, can turn out expensive.....

He should send the unit back to the store he bought it from and let them handle it.

We have received new software for the Futaba 10C transmitter which corrects the trim difficulty for Mode 4 users. If your transmitter was purchased through Great Planes, the North American distributor for Futaba R/C Hobby products, you can send your transmitter to us to have the new software installed into your transmitter. If your transmitter was purchased elsewhere, please contact your regional Futaba distributor for the procedure to have the software updated.

Don't you just love these forums. Here is somebody willing to spend their time warning other people of a problem with a product, and all you can do is slag him off.

No one had an issue with a post about the software bug. The issue was and is with the way the post title makes it sound like the radio is something akin to toxic waste when in fact the problem at hand applies to comparatively few pilots and has already been addressed by Futaba JP.

What exactly is Mode 4?

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

I thought that was Mode 1? Whatever, each to their own I guess.
