I have the MZ24 Graupner it is a great set and very comfortable to handle. I have now stopped flying so the set could be sold complete with 2 x 12 channel receivers and all packing with alloy case for £250. Collect from Chandlers Ford.

Hi Andy.
I have used Graupner equipment since 1990, mainly the MC series. Over the years I lave had a MC18, MC20, MC24, MC22 and now a new MC20. During all my competition years it performed faultlessly. The programming is pretty straightforward and expansive and the HoTT system appears to be bullet proof.I considered a MZ24 but after talking to the main agent they considered that the MC series was a better option for the types of gliders that I flew as it offered more complex mixing options.
Choice of radio gear is very much down to personal choice - different strokes for different folks.

I agree with Brian, I have also flown with Graupner gear for many ,many, years without a hint of trouble. With the electronics pioneered and manufactured by J.R. it is one of the easiest to program kits available. I cannot fault it.
However I also know quite a number of flyers who fly with Spectrum gear. They also have not had any radio trouble,although others decry it as rubbish.
At the end of the day our radio transmission and receiving is done from a relatively simple set of electronics whoever builds it.

I strongly believe that most of the so called mishaps we hear of and are blamed as 'radio problems' is down to bad building or installation of the radio gear or bad piloting. Ter.

Terry,
You are correct radio has improved a lot since the days of ED single channel RC. In those days it usually was radio problem.
Cheers,
