    Futaba is introducing some new radios and from what I can make out they have a two-way transmitter.  Check out the photographs and more via the source link.  I used Google Translate but the info still is a little unclear what the capabilities of the new radios are.  At any rate, the screen on one of the new transmitters looks AWESOME!  It appears to be able to accept a video or camera input and display it on the screen.  This might be great for FPV flyers.  See for yourself:

    Very cool. But at $3000, and 18 channels, you've got to wonder... How can I justify this to the wife and still have a home :eek:

    YIKES!  I'd have to cancel my vacation plans in Fiji and cut back a little on my Dom Pérignon and Caviar to get that.
