FUTABA ANNOUNCES 2.4GHZ FOR AIRCRAFT WITH SUPERIOR FULL-RANGE TECHNOLOGY
PRESS RELEASE
February 10, 2007

6EX 2.4GHz FASST™ Radio System Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology It’s here...and it’s everything modelers want in a full-range 2.4GHz system! Futaba has been using Spread Spectrum technology for nearly 15 years in industrial R/C applications, so they have the dedicated engineering staff with 2.4GHz expertise. Unlike other manufacturers who started offering 2.4GHz for hobby R/C models using off-the-shelf IC chips, Futaba invested in extra research and development - resulting in a system that uses a custom IC chip that’s ideally suited for the unique demands of R/C modeling. When you discover all the advantages of Futaba’s 2.4GHz FASST system, you’ll see that it was worth the wait!

The 2.4GHz FASST system: offering the highest levels of performance, convenience and “peace of mind” for airplane AND heli flyers!

I would have expected they come out with a modular system for those 9chp

They already have such for car, just keep waiting for them.

Nice info tho

i think they prob will come up with the module later. Typical marketing, this one is to cash in on the early adopters first.

[Super-Hornet]

If I from the marketing department, i think I will come out the complete set first. If u come out the module, people buy module first and when the complete set come out, u have lesser people going to buy it instead.

Am waiting eagerly for JR to come up with a 9ch 2.4ghz tx. since spektrum is a child of jr, i believe a DX9 similar to 9xII would be out soon!

Wonder how do they compare to the Spectrum ones?
