Cheers but it has sold.


I would second you on that. I brought it purely for it's features but the more I used it the more I did not like the whole feel of it.

I also second what you say on the DSX9, awesome radio.

Really good advice is to feel a radio and see if it feels right then buy.

Won't be disappointed then when you like everything about it but it don't feel right

Well I would vouch for a DSX9, personally. It will se you a long way through.

BUT then, this is definitely a good option - Ben's DX8 - HERE. I was really surprised to see this in the for sale section as this was purchased just merely days ago. Its a very good deal, if I may add. Ofcourse, truth be said, since you're just starting out, you will not "essentially" be needing all what that radio has to offer mate but then... its a good one.

Then, comes the story of the DX7. Another good one - a little cheaper (price wise) - again - more than enough to see you miles and miles.

The DX6i is a good radio, Dave. There are limitations but, if you plan to stick around with this hobby for a while, as the size of your models grow - so will the power and its different features. This will demand more output channels.

Please bear in mind, there are excellent Futaba Tx's out there as well mate - the only reason I dint comment on them specifically is because I don't use them and don't know much about them. But hell yeah - they are good!

Look Dave, decide your budget first. Then if possible, go down to a local club or ask in here who's local to you. You could probably meet the flyers and check out the equipment first hand. I would indeed stress the importance of this because however new or brilliant the radio might be, if once you hold it in your hand, if you don't feel right - that won't be good mate. It just wont. (I bet Ben will second me on this! - Im still surprised mate )

Buy once. Buy it right.

EDIT: P.S.: Please get your self a SIM first and practice hard before you take that 50 Rappy out mate
Its quite stable, yet very powerful.

Good luck mate.
