Status: offline 		thank you soneebee.
I was wondering, do these futiba radios support ccpm? or is that something they all do? or is it a speacial feature? and I think I might get into gassers in the future but only because an electric heli in the 60 or 90 size is way too expensive. but for the meantime im going to stick to my df60 and I think the next step will be the new trex 50 size heli the trex 600se I think... but that wont be for a year or so.
so I'm looking for a radio that will handle both, nothing fancy though I just cant see whear I would use 9 channels? I mean...
1. elev
2. aile
3. thro
4. rudd
5. gyro mix?
6. pitch
7. retracts? maybee if i go into scale but not likely
8. ?
9. ?

But then again who knows maybee you are just talking about the programming features? in any sort im just looking for something durable, easy to set up and not $500.00 that is a bit steap... even for me.

oh and before I forget I have good news, I crashed my df60 yesterday and destroyed the head. Now I can justify getting the new cnc head. anyone know if the df60 cnc head is any good? how is the set up, easy? and are there parts available for the new head yet? or do you have to buy a whole new head if something breaks?

anyway I would appreciate any help in these area's, I have no one in this town to help me out there is'nt even a hobby store in town not even a laime one.

Status: offline 		Hey everybody
OK I understand the Futaba stuff is cool but it's also pricy. What I don't get though is why nobody mentioned the JR stuff. I have what you guys would refer to as entry level stuff a JR X2610. And you know what in all my years of RC the JR still meets all my requirements and it's really affordable. I just hate calles being made on labels and not on performance. Anyway this was only my two cents worth.
Cheers
