Very nice. :) Almost orgasmic over that..

Most of what I see is good. No nasty sharp pointy bits on the ends of sticks. Having the ability to swivel the stick assemblies, transmitter battery management: display, single cell battery pack. I also liked the side mounted controls that could be adjusted on the side and on the top of the transmitter. The fold away tray neck strap mounts I thought rather neat, although I do feel that judging by some modellers that I know, it wouldn't last five minutes before being wrecked.

What I didn't like.. Well. From what I can see. They haven't gone the hall effect route regarding the stick assemblies, which I do feel to be a missed opportunity to remove what is an unreliable component. Personally I prefer the LCD display to be fixed in position as it is asking to be broken by the same Gorilla/ham fisted guys as on a previous item. I didn't see any optional extras like sticks with inbuilt switches. Maybe that might come later.

It does seem that there is voice capability if you get the premium package. But I'm not too sure about that, and if so it does seem that you have not got an internal speaker. Mind you. That isn't such a bad thing as I do feel that it won't be long before we all get pissed off with the constant noise/voices from the cheap RC gear from Frsky and others that will be following soon. So in a way it gets a thumbs up from me.. How about a couple of inbuilt Bluetooth TX's? One for voice and another for data transmission to whatever box of tricks you may have.

Ohh! .. The price.. Well yes. It is slightly higher from what I have seen than the Jeti which does seem to be of a very high standard. Not sure if I want to fork out all that money for some kit that only gets to go outside for less than eight months of the year and out of them you may get five or six days a month when you can fly. This is for the UK of course. :)

Actually I saw a picture of the tx this morning in a magazine I receive every month from the German model aircraft federation and it has the switches on the sticks.. That is why I thought of you and created this thread.
Here is a picture from the magazine ;) It will be reviewed on the next month edition..
The radio looks quite nice for a tray radio which is very rare :D :P

Many MPX users who had high hopes have been deceived and moved away though... wonder how well it's selling.
