Cool

This is what we have been waiting for, I have the 6 channel set now to play with and will put it both my 450 and 600 for Charmouth.

In fact should be putting it in the 450 SE V2 in a couple of days, be interesting if I can feel the difference between the current 1024 RX and the 2.4G stuff!

Sounds like they have got their act together now,,What are JR doing


Either 2.4ghz system will be good

Wow!! That T12 set looks the dogs nutz- wondering if I should wait for the forthcoming DX9 or get the futaba set... Don't get me wrong,I love my DX7, BUT, it does kinda look a bit toytown and its a bit limiting on programming.. Plus from day 1 I've only ever used Futaba, looks like the plastic will be on fire again .... I've got 15 Spektrum recievers, did I back the wrong horse???...... Time will tell...................

TX looks great, even for a JR-fanantic like me (yes, yes, I know. What can I say, guess I'm not perfect after all).

Only thing about a plug-in module is that tray-flying excludes their use...

[SRH990]

I don't know if its just me but I'm finding any time I fly any of my helis on the DX7 I have to re-trim slightly, not something I remember having to do with my PCM9X, maybe down to the quality of the gimbals and pots perhaps. As soon as I manage to get my hand son a Spektrum module for the PCM9X I suppose I'll find out

Hi

Just had a quick test flight in the garden with the 450 SE V2 with the Futaba 2.6G 6 channel radio fitted, I wondered if there would be a improvement in speed over the 1024 (146IP) PCM receiver I was using in it.
I really need to fly it some more but the little bit of 3D I did with it it did seem to be crisper so first impression is the 2.4G Ffast system is faster!

More to come when I have flown it more.

Only negatives are the 6EX-H 2.4G transmitter only has subtrim on the first four channels so no subtrim on pitch which made set up a little more time consuming.
And you only get failsafe on the throttle channel but hopefully it should never go into failsafe!

Any idea of a comparison to Spektrum?

I assume the response will be silmilar
