    New Airtronics

    Has anyone tried the new Airtronics MX-3 Sport 2.4GHz FHSS-2? It has a longer receiver antenna and it looks like it uses 8-AA's. They claim a range of up to 1000 ft. It sells for $99 at Tower.

      I have been using Airtronics (sanwa) since the 1970's. I have had every other brand of radio over the years. The Airtronics, bar none, is the most reliable of all. I have NEVER had a glitch from an Airtronics. Can't say the same for the other brands.

        where did you see a picture of it? Tower's site says Photo Coming Soon and there is no description. Sounds like a heck of a deal. I have two of the Airtronics 2.4's and they're great. Problem is the receivers are too expensive. I'm now using all Tactic radios with $25 receivers. They work great!

          I posted about the Airtronics in another thread here. It has a scaned pic of it there. I have always used Airtronics and still do. I used them because they were the only ones to offer left handed radios for a long time.

            Several websites claim to have them in stock...



            and the receivers cost less than the Futaba 2.4's...
