[baby_zyklon]

14 channels, pcm 2048, run on window ce, seems like touch screen which is similar to jr but with colour

Wow!! In Windows CE?? That is overkill but I love to have it. I wonder how many thousands it will be.

The ON power LED is at the "Futaba" word? Nice!

Based on Microsoft? wait Tx crash how?..

wonder got any easter eggs inside.... "press 4 corners and go auto land?"

[Mathieu]

Wow.. but how come its not on futaba's website?

[baby_zyklon]

latest news from runryder is that the list price is around 280000yen, package is rx + 4x9252, compared to 235000 for 9z and rx + 4x 9252...but I don't think the cyber 14 will come with 9252, coz futaba already have a replacement model for 9252, the 9255 which is I think is slightly slower with quite a bit more torque.

OMFG!!
NO WAY I AM GETTING A TX BASED ON WINDOWS..

Wah lau.. imagine..

Raptor 90..
Flying, altitude 30m..

*BING*

"Windows Exception Error 0000:1294"
"Turn off TX to restart Windows now"
"Push any lever to continue with restart"

*CRASH*

God bless you.. lolz..

AFAIK, there is NOT a single ver of windows that doesn't crash..
Hmmm.. even Windows XP crash..
So.. who dare to buy? lolz..

That's a good one...

if there's a Palm or MAC OSX version, I'll have more confidence in using it...

[Brandon Chng]

then need to program a easy to reach switch just for the alt-ctrl-delete...

[9VDXN]

U dunno about Windows PocketPC??
There's usually a reset button that you can press with a pointed object...ie. Stylus
if it doesn't work, you need to remove batts for a while and pop it back it...

And if it still doesn't work, send in to factory...

[PhiBeR]

Yeah.. i've used a PPC for like 3 years now.. lolz..
PCs use ctrl-alt-del
PPCs use reset pin..
TXs use what??

How about this..

Futaba Cyber 14 manual..
Fineprint:
To rest the transmitter in case of Windows Error, Hold Right Aileron+Left Rudder+Power Switch...

Seriously, speaking..
Are they so poor to R&D their Proprietary software for use with their own TX??
They were so smart-ass to use the stupid square plug for the 9C..
Now their ass got even smarter and decided to listen to Uncle Bill!!

[sloger]

OOMMGG!!!!!
How is it possible?? MIcrosoft and Futaba....dont think anybody is going to buy one. One the second pic it shows its G3....does that mean it comes with a emergency mobile?
any way i think there will be a manual overide thing if the window crash....i mean u would still hace controll of the plane but all the mixing are gone....know what i mean?

any ways enough babling and enjoy flying!!

[Super-Hornet]

They should have gone to Linux version instead. Just like Sharp Pocket PC.

If it is in Linux, I am very confident on it also.

I think they use all those WinCE is because they wanted to make as much eye candy as possible.

Ehhh.... wait someone write a virus, infect the transmitter? The plane/heli become Kamikazi?

[PhiBeR]

HMm..

I bet the TX can use as a PDA with 128mb of ram??
Wahaha.. that is the ULTIMATE PDA or the ULTIMATE TX??

At least when ur heli crashed after the Windows crash.
U can still use ur $2000 TX to play Freecell and Solitaire!!

Touch screen somemore leh..

Seriously, Linux will be better lor...
Or at least something that is not notorious for failing..
With lots of bugs n security holes!!

Dun think got manual override..
If it crashed, u lose all ur curves n mixes n crap liddat..
How to fly then? lolz..
