What is the difference between the FM and PCM packages of the airplane/heli radios?
The primary difference between an FM and PCM package of, for example, the 8U Supers is that the PCM version comes with a PCM receiver. If you plan to use PCM right away, this provides you a cost savings by getting the PCM receiver now. If you’re thinking of using PCM in the future but don’t want to buy it now, you can purchase the FM system, then later purchase a PCM receiver and switch modulation types in your TX model memory and you’re ready to fly PCM! You can even have different models stored in your radio where some are FM and others are PCM.
