Cheap Heli TX just for use on Phoenix

[Chumpy]

Hi
Can anyone recommend a Cheap Heli TX just for use on Phoenix??

I have a DX8, but don't want to use it on Phoenix. I just want a TX which has full use of the channels (ie. more than 4), but which I can use on Phoenix.

Thanks

Cant go much wrong with a Dx6i .

A Spektrum LP5DSM (CX2 Transmitter) will also do the job and can be picked up for very little money.

Funny lol, exactly the same answers as last time can I just ask, why you don't want to use a dx8 on the sim, surely if your flying with a dx8 at the weekends, that is the the best thing to train on the sim with, why have a 250 pound tx, to look pretty in the week, and only use at the weekend

I bought a cheap esky 6ch works a treat think it was about 20 quid on eBay

I have to agree with Kev on this.

It makes sense to use the tx you use at the field

+1, your better off using the same tx as the field, with a different tx the sticks could longer, shorter, resistance could be different in the sticks.

Get used to what u have got.

I thought I was going crazy!

Paul, what was the matter with the Tx you brought from me?.. After all the messages back and fourth.. I thought you were happy with it and I remember checking the tracking and it showed its been received by you?

Just get a simstick and use up a scabby olde 6100 its as close as you will get to flyiing a muddle....

I had a similar thought to the OP.

It is ideal to use your 'main' tx for practice, but what to use, when you are working away from home? I don't want to take a dx6i or the like with me. If you are working abroad, it can be awkward getting something like that through customs. Let alone the space it takes up in your suitcase

Something that doesn't transmit at all would be ideal...

Is there anything out there like that?

That's exactly what i was looking for!

Wonder what the delivery time is in Russia....

Looking at my dx6i i use for pheonix, its beat up, missing switches etc from all the use & laying around the house, i would never dream about using my tx i fly with normally, it would be awful to turn up on the weekend with a tx in this condition.

With the heli master tx you can easily hook it up to Pheonix, you just need to put a phono socket and wire it up, I have done it with mine as I travel a lot and like you dont want to take a proper tx through all the airports. If you get one and need to know how to put a socket on it drop me a line.
