RE: Parkzone BNF's
Mattu, you need a dsm2 transmitter, or a dsm2 module to fit your present transmitter. I am using a module in my Hitec 72 mghz tx's. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...prodDetailTabs are the first options, then a JR dsm2 or get a dsm2 module
Good luck.

Yep, get the DX6i (or the DX7), then you can fly more BNF planes with it in the future (or convert some of your existing 72MHz planes to 2.4GHz).
Once you get your first BNF plane, you'll want to buy more, trust me!

RE: Parkzone BNF's
I just picked up my Parkzone Sukhoi today from Hobbytown. They had 12 ordered and only got 2. Lucky I was at the top of the list. Boy, the little stinker comes totally assembled and takes only charging the battery and binding to be in the air.
What a BLAST. NOTE: It says in the instruction booklet the Spectrum DX6 radio is not compatible, so if you are planning on using one it has to be a DX5e, DX7,JR x903, or JR 12x. 2.4 . Glad my Parkzone Corsair came with a DX5e , or I would be up a creek. Try it, you'll like it.

RE: Parkzone BNF's
should we get the tx that comes with an RX if we're going to buy a BNF anyway? Those Tx's (DX6i is the one i want) are hard to cough up the dough for. Is it better to just get the RX?

The DX6 was the first ever 2.4GHz spread spectrum RC aircraft radio, and it was for park flyers only. It is a "DSM" radio. The AR6000 was the receiver that it came with, and it was a "DSM" receiver. The DX6 has been discontinued. The DX6i is a newer "DSM2" transmitter, and it is a full range transmitter. Except for the AR6000, the rest of the 2.4GHz receivers made by Spektrum and JR are "DSM2" receivers. The DSM2 transmitters are supposed to be compatible with the AR6000, but the DX6 is not compatible with any of the newer DSM2 receivers. In other words, the DSM2 transmitters should be compatible with the DSM receiver (AR6000), but the DSM transmitter (the DX6) is not compatible with any DSM2 receivers.

RE: Parkzone BNF's
Thanks PKH for the fine tuning of the DX6 incompatability explanation. My DX5e is the first cell phone frequency radio I have used, and I like not having to check all the MZ.freq. when I go to fly at the field. My Trojan is a 72 mz transmitter, and hope to be swapping it over to the 2.4.

RE: Parkzone BNF's
I got the DX6i about two weeks ago for a Trojan T-28. Yesterday I added a BNF helicopter (Blade CX3= sweet!) so now have two of ten models programmed. I just can't say enough about how awesome the TX is, it is the only one you will need for a long time and IMO well worth the initial outlay of cash. EDIT- We will see more and more BNF's in the future, and even PNP's are acceptable once you have a good charger and extra Lipos laying around. The step-up eventually will be mandatory for flyers I think.
