    going flybarless in the future

    Yes, My old Trex 500 is still rocking a flybar and nearly back in the air after a recent big crash. It's next crash will be its last one.

    With that in mind. I was thinking of getting an Align 500X, and going for the super combo minus all but the fbl unit. So my question is. Can I still use my trusty DX6i with a flybarless system or do I need extra channels? I ask because I don't know the answer. Many thanks in advance.

    My following question is, When going flybarless, what other electronic gubbins do I need, for example, another satelite? if any. Thanks again.

      My knowledge of underworld creatures of German descent is non existent, but thank you.

      Seriously though, thanks but I'm not looking to buy just yet. Also, it doesn't answer my question.

        The DX6i will work ok with any current FBL. You will get all the basic functionality but might end up a bit constrained if you get a system with 'extra' features like 'rescue' and 'stabilisation'... Though even then there are work-arounds so you can get away with a 6 channel tx even with a FBL with rescue.

          As I understand it the standard DX6i comes with AA batteries. The spring holders have been known to give reliability problems. It is a good idea to solder them up or buy a dedicated pack. This, https://www.sussex-model-centre.co.u...mitter-battery or something similar. ( I have no connection to Sussex Models or to Spektrum).

            Thanks very much chaps. I've not had a problem with the dx6is battery springs in the 6 years I've had it so that's a good start.

            I just wanted to know as the combo I've seen comes with Beastx I believe, I could be wrong but I'm sure that's what it said, anyway, I know that's one of the popular ones and it's well proven by now.

            Thanks for the advice

              Good luck. The Align combo's are great value. Just keep an eye on the battery springs.
