-The Gen 1 does not have the wireless trainer link (again, for an airplane or heli benefit).
-With software updates they should be the same.

Something that you will have to do on either gen 1 or gen 2, is setting up the left stick to be spring loaded for the up and down movement. They are all set up for airplane and heli throttles, therefore, the stick will not return to the middle position on its own.

Good Luck,
Thanks for the info, I figured it was something simple that was of no concern to our genre. From what I've heard you can change the left stick fairly easy on a Spectrum, I've done Futaba years ago and 2 Airtronics over the years but haven't tackled a Spectrum yet.
