Futaba 16IZS 2.4GHz 18 Channel FASSTest Radio System (No Receiver) (Heli)
I have never done a review, but the service from amain hobbies was excellent. After the post office lost my package, the staff worked with me to try to find it, but when that proved to be impossible, they rushed me a new one immediately. Definitely a great company to work with.
As for the radio, the 16IZ is amazing. I had the 12k before, and this one is definitely worth the extra expense. I was able to transfer my 6 planes from the 12k to the 16IZ using the SD card in just a few minutes, and after verifying the settings, I was able to fly with no additional changes. I did have to bind each receiver to the radio, but that was quick.
The screen and menus are easy to work with, but I find that the screen is difficult to see in the sun light. The audio timer works great, and I can hear it above the sound of the large gas planes, after turning up the volume a bit. Overall, very satisfied with the support and the radio.
