Futaba T8J

Hi Chaps

Picked up a Futaba T8J today  ::)  Been thinking about a better quality radio for a while now that is more programmable and better suited to the Naza.

From what I have seen on youtube and read it Naza friendly, and has 2x3 position switches (one for GPS, ATTI & Manual and another for Naza IOC)

Will keep you posted

Good to hear Johnrs, can you tell me what made you choose that over the Specktrum DX8?

I have seen a few videos on this TX along with the DJI Naza and its seems to work quite well together in setting up the 2 3 positions switches.  Plus it looks good :)

Just done a quick unboxing and look

Do you mind telling me where you picked it up from and for how much?

Gee Dee models in Nottingham.. £250..    Could have got it for about £220 online but was impatient :) Plus I wanted to have a good look and feel of it first.  If you know what I mean LOL

Very nice Futaba transmitter John. Should serve you well!
Might stick a thread myself with my tx choice - just for fun

+ 1 for that radio.

Its a great radio at a decent price compared to other radios and what you get .

here is my first official flight with my new TX

Soldered a new bullet connector on and checked the other last night and then calibrated the ESC';s

This morning I setup my Futaba and braved the cold..
