| 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful  One of the best radio, for the price and features, = Durability: = Fun: This review is from: Aurora 9 2.4GHz Transmitter, Optima 9 Receiver (Toy) I'm in R/C for almost 20 years. I've experienced the AM era, the FM era, the PCM era, and finally the 2.4 Ghz era. As most modellers, I've started with Futaba brand, (AM, FM and 2.4 Ghz). JR with PCM, and finally Hitec in 2.4 Ghz. I've experienced issues with Futaba in AM, FM and even in 2.4 Ghz (7C), with very expensive crashes in all cases. with JR (XP7202) never has any issues, (except for the battery that dies after a year of use) but in 72 Mhz, there's always the chance that someone turn on a radio in the same freq, and good bye model. I was thinking about the DX7 (the 2.4 Ghz version of the XP7202), but I don't like some things like the fact that the receiver come in two modules, and cost $99.99 each.With the A9, after a year of use, never experienced a glitch or loss the signal, the link is strong and reliable. There is two modes of link. The radio has too many features, for me, some are useless, but there is some reasons that I found to be the main reasons to buy this...

The A9 is a sensational radio, the DX8 was disappointing to say the least--plus the DX8 suffered from numerous quality defects - repeated software errors and outright failures, battery failure,major stick centering inconsistency (3-5 clicks of trim off after each aileron movement), and the last straw: receiver brownouts causing three catastrophic crashes.The A9 is a dream. The huge touchscreen LCD is very quick and easy to program, and it has two to three times the programming prowess of the DX8 depending on the mode. The Tx batteries are a 6-cell vs a 4-cell. Switches are easier to reach, easier to assign, have more programming options, and are more varied in their function and are more numerous. 9 channels is nice. The biggest advantage of Hitec over Spectrum is receiver and link quality. The plane is glued to the stick movement, with no latency. Even the DX8+AR8000 has a noticeable delay, while the DX8 is too...

Transmitter, 9 Ch. Receiver, Manual, Receiver on/off switch, antennae mounts, Hitec stickers, shock absorbing receiver padding, a small plastic screwdriver, receiver battery 4x AA holder, and TX/RX charger. The Transmitter is great. The touchscreen is very accurate. Programmable switches make it very easy to customize your radio to your preference. Manual goes how to set up in great detail. Screen is easy to read, you can program the screen to turn off after a set time. Transmitter is ready out of the box, battery is charged, enough to set up (don't fly until you charge it). The receiver is great, easy to use. There is a small tab in one of the slots in the receiver, DON'T take that out, it is necessary for the receiver to function. I did and it took me half an hour to find out. The whole system is easy to use. It's a radio that could be used by beginners and professionals. There's no delay between the stick movements and the servo... Read more |
