Default Re: Futaba 8fg???

Ive had mine since 2009(standard 8FG) only recently updated software for 14ch, had to send it back 6months after i got it, the calibration went on 1 of the sticks so had to go back for a warranty repair, since then the software updates have included a user calibration option.

Programming is pretty easy once you get the hang of it touchpad makes it quick to cycle through menus, you can set any function to any channel you want, you get 4proportional channels 2 sliders and 2 knobs and the rest are switches. I have the sliders set for tracks and 1 knob set for pump esc on my excavator, battery will go flat fast if you have the screen brightness turned up to full but really you dont even need it half its still easy to see. If your getting a good deal id definatly go with the futaba.

hope this helps
