I am not sure of the Heli functions. Both radios are airplane ones.. You can check on the Futaba website. I provided the links on my post.

Hello all.
Thank you for your interest in my radio systems. Here is an update and some pictures.

1. For the 6EXA , i discovered that i have 5 recievers instead of 4. However, there are only 2 crystals. I will keep the price the same. ir Rs 10,000 + shipping. However i suspect one receiver to be having some jittering ( Could be because the RX/Tx were close ) . None of them have crashed, and a couple of them have flown just one flight or so. Overall i have cared for my radio, never put on ground, or fallen, or had any serious issues.
4 Receivers are R127DF and one is the new R168DF . All bought directly from towerhobbies.
Channel is #45 72.690
Picture attached

2. On the 3 Channel Radio
Attached is the picture of the receiver and 2 servos.
2 S3106 servos, 1 R114F 72 Mhz receiver and the crystal.


For any questions, please send me a PM.
-Gaurav

Hey Chan,
Oh! i thought i had listed it here, but got sold before i could post it here !
I got the Futaba 10C, old version, and also got a module for 72 Mhz. I got the Heli version too, with the non ratcheted throttle and guess what i got a 14 channel HS Rx ie http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXWVF6&P=0

I know that the dedicated radio has a better feel, but i got this 5,000 cheaper + i would use my 4 72 Mhz Rxs on older planes.

Now i need to take this to the field, and do some test flights !

Congrats on your new radio dude... real good features on this one.. And the high speed rx is one piece of machinery which I am going to be real jealous of!!  Grin  Grin!!

Post some pics dude.. I would be posting some of my pics in some time..

And how come you got your module based Tx cheaper?? Huh? Everywhere the 10C is more expensive than the 10CG..

Hi Anwar,

One more thing that has left me stumped!! Tower is listing 10C as discontinued whereas there is no such thing mentioned in the Futaba website.. Singa Hobby has also sent me a mail reassuring me that the 10C is not being discontinued anytime now!! Dont know what sort of politics that is  Huh?  Huh?  Why does Tower say that a particular model is discontinued when the manufacturer does mention anything about it!!! And even singa hobby is an authorized futaba dealer!!

"Discontinued" by Tower only, they never claimed discontinued by the manufacturer. There are other items also on Tower like that.  They just want to tell people that they are not just "out of stock", they will not be getting the same item ever again (sort of).

I think if something has been Discontinued by Tower, it would be soon be discontinued by Futaba.
I have seen that happen earlier.
In the coming months i suppose the 10C would be gone and only the newer 10CAG would be available. The new-gen will all be 2.4Ghz.

Of course, Tower knows that Futaba is going to discontinue it.  That is why they say "replaced by XXXX" in the item description at http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?Q=1&I=LXUEW6&P=3 .

But I am not sure if this is true of everything sold by Tower.  Depending on how their relationship with suppliers go, they may mark as "discontinued" some items which the manufacturers may continue to sell through other resellers.

2.4 is the future, no doubt !
