With the new year comes a new radio system! We are about to start testing out the Futaba 4PK in house! I was a huge fan of the Nomadio Sensor, but they have long abandoned their market, and it’s next to impossible to find their receivers any more. So far the Futaba 4PK is looking pretty good! [...]
