things We here at MultiWiicopter really like about this radio

1. Its a  Futaba - Accurate sticks -You have the best quality S-FHSS Receivers/connectors and devices from from the start - even with the budget system entry price point (for example the 18MZ can also access this Rx) - People sometimes ask whats the difference between S-FHSS and FASST - see FAQ below
2. Built in Antenna is a GREAT idea - the orientation is very clever and will maximise the range for noobs and pros alike
3. Full house switches PLUS digital trims for Ch5 and Ch 6 - Plus a full VR knob in the centre - Assign any channel to any switch ! awesome 
4. Joystick edit control - great button feel and function - positive "click" joystick - love it
5. Backlit LCD - user adjustable when it comes on or not - perfect without glasses in low light
6. Large dual timers - Can be triggered by Throttle position - This is how we fly - automatic timing of your flights based on throttle position - incased you forget to flick a switch - perfect for noobs
7. Hang-flat balance point - the neckstrap click balances perfectly flat (many 2.4 radios dont because they were designed for massive old 72mhz antennas)
8. Large battery compartment AA battery ready - 6v or 7.4v ready (menu setting) 
9. All switch, trims, kbs and switches just feel 100% Futaba quality from the start
10. 100% multicopter capable radio - MultiWiicopter/NAZA/Wookong
11. Australian C-Tick - Legal at all AU RC clubs
