Why would anyone buy a Hitec Flash radio these days when other offerings such as the FrSky Taranis and Turnigy 9X or 9XR offer so much more bang for your buck?
The answer is that these radios are probably one of the simplest computerized radios on the market, when it comes to set-up and use.
I've been using the Flash 7 off-and-on for over 9 months and it has performed flawlessly with a number of different receivers including the Maxima, Optima and FrSky Delta8 units.
Pros:
- sliders (a must have for me)
- nice ergonomic design
- unfussy styling (unlike earlier Hitec radios)
- easily adjusted mode and stick tensions on the Flash 8
- RF can be disabled for simulator use
Cons:
- not so much "bang for your buck" as some other radios
- internal build quality is good but not excellent
- no easy firmware updating capability.
