[Desmoboy]

Hi Guys
I am on the list for a Taranis but keep coming back to the Graupner 8 ch unit. 
I get a warm and fuzzy feeling from their web site and believe they are probably a good bunch to buy from. I don';t hear much about them on this forum so ask is their stuff good kit

Regards
keith

If you are buying one now, you';ll find that the distributors (now LogicRC), are superb at customer service. Being involved in the trade (not affiliated to LogicRC), I';ve had to contact them on a few ocassions for customers and have found them them to be very helpful. Many years ago, I done a lot of slope soaring and owned a Graupner MC22. I loved the quality. I';ve no reason to suspect that you wont like the MC16.

As it happens i bought one, from Gliders distribution online.

Arrived the following day and i must say it looks good. I have very little to compare it against except my sons 15 year old 2 channel Rc car tx';r but i';m happy

I reckon you';ll love it mate.

I forgot to mention that it came with a well produced 200 page manual in correct English. That kind of thing tends to ensure i buy from the same people in the future.

Perhaps all other radio suppliers produce manuals that are as good, i dont know, but i would not expect the cheaper chinese stuff to.

Hahaha, I know what you mean. Spektrum and Hitec manuals are good too, but I';ve seen my fair share of Chinglish manuals
