seems like it will handle both Rx. This is good news. It's like they got the PK and PL and fused it together. I've been putting off upgrading to the 4pk since I had so much Rx for the 4pl.
If it works with both, I'll upgrade from my 4PL. I like the tail-less 204GF-E receiver too much to give it up. Cheap and tiny with awesome performance!

Keen as mustard for the release of this radio, my 4PKS is so old now, but must ask in Futaba's history have they had any big issues with there first of a model radios?

Behold
Hope it comes with a drop down option. But then again, it seems like the trigger and wheel are already close to each other.

What radio looks "pretty"

They are all fairly odd looking really.

Looks too much like a knockoff brand radio. I'm a futaba guy and have owned most models over the years but as for now I'll be sticking to the PKSR.

Not that bad, I think I'll be getting it still to upgrade from my original 4PK. Here is to hoping it comes with an even smaller receiver than the 614...

totally agree!! Based on the screws next to the wheel looks like a dropdown will not be an option.

More info from Kentech blog:

Main specifications change:

- 3.5 -inch Backlight with color TFT LCD equipped with excellent outdoor visibility .

- On -screen display , which is larger than the 4PKSR, visibility is dramatically improved .

- 3PL, 3PRKA series , 4PL series T-FHSS, S-FHSS, 4PK series receiver FASST (C2) receiver are available .

- dramatically improve the weight balance molded parts it is new design almost , with a low center of gravity by the steering position down , weight reduction of about 15g, downsizing by the antenna integrated part of the framework than the review 4PKSR from the thickness of the body rigidity improvement efforts were made to use the aluminum frame .

- 4PX lightweight 100g or more than made ​​SANWA M12

- Response of Futaba fastest . About 30% faster than 4PKSR.

- The T-FHSS two-way communication , telemetry function is available without reducing the response .

- without having to remove the battery cover dedicated LiFe battery , rechargeable easily .

- steering which is a consumable part of most , the throttle stick , I adopt a high- volume endurance , can be suppressed to a large extent the inspection and maintenance frequency in the prop .





So looks like it is quite a lot lighter than the M12, which is already one of the lightest high end radios. I'm a little disappointed if it will not work in C1 mode. I have quite a mix of receivers in C1 or C2 mode.

Looks pretty good to me. I really like the flexibility of RX's and the full color screen but
If there's no drop down option I'm not interested. I'll stick with the Super-R
