I have had 3 spektrum radio's and last year I changed to Futaba T8FGs and it was the best money I have ever spent on radio gear in the last 30 years of using R/C gear
It is far more user friendly a hell of a lot more intuitive with more programming options , all but 1 switch is a 3 position , very easy to upgrade firm ware ,much better link and distance and the pots are a lot smoother than the latest spektrum
Any function can be easily programmed to any switch ,dial or pot in seconds ,Very easy to change modes 1,2,3,4 all can be setup
Just my 0.02 cents worth
