I recently bought a Spektrum 2.4ghz controller (gun/wheel type) but having used it I didn't seem to get on with it, I heard that Futaba are meant to be bringing out a similar priced Stick control version for similar money, does anyone know anything about this? And when its going to be available??

Just thinking I may stick my Spektrum on Ebay while it is still as new....

Thanks

Is it a Futaba FASST or a Spektrum...? They are two different brands.

I've used the Futaba FASST wheel radio for a few months now and really like it. Not sure about the stick version existing or coming out. I think they do a 6ch stick for aero use now though so it's feasible (actually inevitable)...

OK, so it's a Spektrum not a FASST...! Nice controller, I have the Futaba FASST which is a little different (and 3 ch). Good luck with the sale.
