| 5 years from now......I see a PC interface where you may program or review your models on a graphical interface in your PC or notebook. With this you would also have an unlimited number of models and download a number of them to the radio at a time. Tx-PC connection could be direct USB, or wireless by a dedicated, Rx/USB interface. Going a step further, the PC USB module could also transmit the setups directly to the Rx, so you could dial in your settings, real time, from the PC graphical interface and see the Rx acting on them.
Flybarless helis are the next hit for sure. Some manufacturers that already supply ESCs in their kits, as Align, will also provide the stability systems for those helis.
Gassers are a big question mark. They are increasingly popular, but increasing oil prices may turn this around. Electrics will be (are already!) everywhere. If new battery technology can squeeze higher MAhs (not necessarily more Cs) for longer duration, electrics will very seriously challenge nitro, specially if their cost is not as prohibitive as current Lipos.
Ok, Crystal Ball OFF.
