I switched to 2.4GHz in 2008 by means of a Futaba FX-30.

Then in 2013 I switched again to the Jeti DC-16.
I don't expect to switch to anything anytime soon.

I'm not an 'early adopter' so I went 2.4 relatively late.

I have not retired my JR gear on 36 Mhz because it worked perfectly before & continues to do so.

Having said that every new model I build is on 2.4 using a Futaba 12C, 14 channel radio and I won't

be buying any more 36 Mhz gear, it seems like it's not available in Australia anyway.

The change to 2.4 meant a complete change of receivers & stuff & I wasn't convinced that the Spektrum

system JR was using was foolproof hence the change to Futaba.

As for sticking with 36 Mhz for some models, I believe the adoption of 2.4 equipment has been the biggest

improvement to safety yet for 36 Mhz equipment because very few people still use it meaning the biggest fault with 36 Mhz, the chances of getting shot down by someone on your frequency are next to nil, even the 'toy aeroplanes' use 2.4 these days.

I "switched" to XPS a couple years ago, relatively trouble free.  I got a module and  a couple of the Nanno 6-channel Rx - just recently got a couple more plus the X-10+ channel expander which has a lot of capabilities and allows the Rx or an RFU to be placed where it can get good signal.  The X-10+ is NOT a Rx - it needs a separate Rx and if you do it correctly you can add the channels on the Rx to those on the X-10+ and assign any channel to any port, adjust endpoints, lots of other stuff - and right now he is testing for multiple Rx (or RFU) - both connected to the X-10+ - since it is not a receiver it is not affected if one of the connected Rx's loses signal, it simply looks at the other connected Rx.  If both are bad then it goes into the user-programmed failsafe sequence.

Denny Friesel has XPS nannos in his zirolli corsair with no problems, that's a good enough reference for me!
