Radios / Jeti radios... It's official!

I am using the HK rx "park flyer" at over 1000ft with my JR dsm Tx, of course it is overpriced but I am happy 3 year on with the system.
Each to their own.... I have always had a JR bias.

Go  for it, I am flying 24 years and got one this summer, will handle up to 20 mph wind, thermals great and quick to assemble.
B.T.W. amount of space to land depends on pilots ability, will land in a pitch easy.
