Here are more pics of the upcoming Futaba 701!
The people at Hobby-Media.biz posted these pics taken at the Japan 3D Jamboree of a Futaba 701 gyro. The gyro appears to be the next generation 611 unit, and this time Futaba is incorporating governor functionality into the unit. It will also be S-Bus compatible. I am sure we will hear more about this gyro in the coming months.

Written by Rasmus JensenToday, ElyQ released images and test photos of the upcoming Vision 90 Competition. Check it out!
Looks like the Vision 90 will be sharing a lot of its design and features with what ElyQ has done with the 50 sized version. Looks like it will come with the bellcrank control arms, proper geometry swash, and torque tube as stock (these are all updates for the 50 sized Vision). Should not be too long now! Enjoy the diagrams and test photos, more can be found by clicking the Source link at the bottom.

From HorizonHobby.com....
"As a DX6 user, you are part of a visionary group of modelers who saw Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM® technology was the future of RC and embraced it. You led the revolution. That kind of influence and trust deserves more than a simple thank you. That's why Spketrum would like to help you stay on the forefront of DSM technology by giving you up to $50 cash back or a free receiver when you upgrade from your trusty DX6 to a new Spektrum aircraft system.
You started with the leader. Stick with the leader. "

Overview
The JR 11X 2.4 comes with just about everything you would expect in a pro-class radio. Things like an extensive list of programming options, 30-model memory, a big backlit display and a eye-catching case worthy of its capabilities. The only thing it lacks is the one thing you won’t miss – a pro-class price tag.
The 11X is also surprisingly easy to use for a radio so advanced. Accessing functions and programming settings is simple with the intuitive roller button interface and big, backlit LCD screen. It also has an SD card slot for model storage, memory expansion and software updates.
Most importantly, it comes equipped with the security and convenience of Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology. With DSM you get more than the best 2.4 radio control technology . You also get more receiver choices designed for specific types of flying as well as access to the exciting world of Bind-N-Fly aircraft
