I use a Futaba 10c transmitter but with an Xtreme link module and receivers for at least five years.

Info here: http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/xtremelink.php

Excellent customer service, reasonable pricing. Best warranty in the business.

Used to fly futaba for many years, dropped out of the hobby for about a decade and got back in a few years ago and started using a Futaba 9c with a FrSky module.  But dropped the 9c for a Taranis at the beginning of the year.  

As for servos, anything I care about gets Savox.

I think Airtronics is great, and always have thought that.  Been using since 1985!

Just received a new Futaba T-14.
Boy is it going to take some work to figure it out!
It took me a 1/2 hour just to put my name in it.
I've been using Spectrum but decided to up grade for my new big airplane and the Futaba system is totally different.

Reading everyone's posts, everyone seems happy with their radios and I'm sure everyone thinks theirs is the best! But the truth is they're all pretty reliable these days, especially with the advent of 2.4.

I use a Futaba 10c, it does everything I need it to do and I find it very easy to programme, I can't ever remember having a radio glitch or losing a model through fault of the radio.

I'm sure it's all very subjective!

I have an FRSKy Tarnis and love it, having said that, you have to want to understand it. With open source programing, you have to be a little of a computer geek to get the most out of it. It will do anything you want, if you know the right questions.

     Jr Tx, Spectrum Rx and Hi Tec servos. Was using a JR 10x but it got wierd so I picked up a 9303 that does all I need, fly mostly WWI stuff and dont need a ton of channels. Got back into the hobby in 1988 and started back with a JR Century 7 single stick, really like a single stick Tx but if they're still around I dont know of any. The first JR Transmitters I had still had Circus Circus labels on them, remember them? Flew with Royal and Kraft in the 70s.
