Cheap transmitter

[Chumpy]

I have purchased Phoenix, and will use it with my Spektrum DX8. However, I dont want to use my DX8 with the sim long term, I just want to have a cheap TX that I can use with Phoenix, whilst keeping my DX8 aside just for my weekend flying days!

My question is;
What is a cheap TX I can use with Phoenix?

Any help or advice appreciated.

Thanks

An E Flite Spektrum LP5DSM (CX2) transmitter will work fine and can be picked up for very little money

What is a cheap TX I can use with Phoenix

I've got a cheap TX that I got with my Phoenix sim, to be honest it must have been used less that a hand full of times as I generaly use my JR9xII. If your intrested drop me a PM.

How would a simstick help? I thought that just made the existing TX wire-free....??

I like to use the same tx as I use for the heli. Same feel and position of throttle hold and rates. Also same throttle pitch curve if you select use your own curves in setup. Doesn't use much power from the tx in sim mode.

I used to use my 5channel CX2 TX on the sim all the time to save my DX7. Problem was that when I went flying I got so used to using the 5channel on the sim that I found I had to keep looking at the DX7 as it felt different and I had keep looking for the switches. In the end I just use the DX7 as thats what I use when I fly at the field.
