The absolute no nonsense what is the best radio thread!!

That's PURE FAN-BOY speak right there.

Steve your just in DENIAL!

Remember I've had 4, I KNOW of what I speak and for once even Ed has my back on this. LOL

The 14Mz is a capable radio it just is a Battery Hog. TRUE DAT!

The 14MZ did suffer poor battery life but I found it much better using genuine Futaba batteries compared to the inexpensive video camera clones. You could also help extend the life by minimizing display use, using lower brightness, short delay for screen power off. For several years I cycled 2 Futaba batteries and never had to charge during the day if I started with both full.

It is still a great radio although missing telemetry it has great programming capability and convenience with a solid 2.4 GHz signal.

I put the Seacraft tray on my 14MZ and added a 5000 Mah lipo. No battery issues here.

I never had an issue with my 14MZ. Could get a solid 6-8 flights with it. Easily an evening of programming. What more do you need? Awesome radio. The telem was nice on the 18MZ though

Jim actually never even turned on 3 of the 4 he owned. And the 1 that he racked up time on was left on by accident while he watched TV on the couch.

I could put one of those 7014's on my "top shelf" if you wish! I'll leave it in its case so it doesn't get dusty!!

Actually none, no programming required. With his radio (brand name not being mentioned), you go to your telemetry section and click on "Discover Sensors".

That's it. The calculated values are actually virtual sensor outputs, not too difficult.
