Ultymate Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 A friend of mine here in the UK is watching this closely with a view to buying one. He recently returned from the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout where he made enquiries about this T/X with some of the Futaba sponsored pilots out there. The news is that Futaba are still working on the programming and it will be mid 2012 before any are in the States for assessment let alone sale, so I would not expect it in the UK before 2013 at best.

Devon Flyer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If it's only got a 0.3 megapixel camera I don't think I'll bother buying one.Shame really; I might have had a punt on one if it had a decent camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Green Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Since it looks like JR aren't going to have anything soon, I too am looking at this set, but £2200 is a bit steep. I guess the early adopters will pay, but for me as nice as it looks, I'll have to wait for a deal. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultymate Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 A friend at my local club has the 18MZ, I've had a hands on look at it and it's definitely a step up from the 14 MZ. It's a fair bit lighter whilst still retaining a quality feel, the 14 was very heavy to use especially without a neckstrap. The screen is a major improvement over the 14 being far more sensitive and has far better resolution, being more akin to what's available on 3G phones and Ipads etc. It obviously has the extra channels and is all ready to go with "S"bus should you decide to go that route. It's a lovely bit of kit but obviously comes at a premium price. Edited By Ultymate on 22/01/2012 19:22:01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Its a mighty fine bit of man bling - had a good ol play around with a clubmates the other week, lovely screen etc, and lighter than his old 14MZ, Still dont think I would ever spend that much on one, as I am unlikely to ever need/want all the features m'self. Enjoy, tis a thing of beauty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Green Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 A bit disappointed with Als Hobbies at the moment. Their Bristol branch is about an hours drive from me, and I asked if they could get an 18mz for me to look at just for a feel, to check how it holds and balances. The guy in the shop said he didn't have one but would check with Ali if they could get one. He said no. The reason being they don't sell well, and if I decided I didn't want it they would be stuck with it. I tried to say it was a done deal, and only if the Tx was complete rubish I wouldn't be buying it, but no go. Do I have a 14 days return policy? something to do with remote selling rules. Surely this would be more of a pain than me checking one out before I actually bought one. I've spent £1000's with them over the years, but wont be spending much more.

Tim Mackey Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That's pretty poor IMO - if it helps, I'm sure you will love the way it handles - very nicely balanced, and not too heavy at all. Try a few other retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hmm..both FASST and FHSS compatable eh, I wonder if that means a software update for my 8FG will make it cross compatable or if the encryption is hardwired. Software would be more sensible generally anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
