Status: offline 		you only need 6 channels really... heres what you should do. get a 7 channel reciever, but use your DX6i. the seventh channel is good to have for you to plug your battery into on an electric. Throttle, ail., elev., pitch., rudd., gyro gain, then the seventh for your receiver battery. don't use your ESC to power your electronics (i don't even know if that's possible going that big) but always have that seperate reciever  battery pack ensuring you always have power to your electronics.

Status: offline 		tinkman is correct... but an E shouldn't need the seventh channel cuz the 6 channels actually do have a battery port. Align's mistake. they do that alot lol

Status: offline 		What size batteries are people using with the 550?? 4500? 5000? c rating 30c 40c ?? what weight should I look for? not really a super hardcore flyer, so i won't be pulling a lot of amps all the time.
Thanks
