I have a new desire to master the heli with 3d flying; of course the reality is I’m not at all close yet. I have been looking at these 3 radios for some time now and I am leaning towards the spectrum. My question is, which is the best all around radio for stunt flying helis? Does the spectrum really contain all of the options that you would need for great heli flying?

System Features
Digital DSMâ„¢ Spread Spectrum Modulation
• 10-model memory
• Dual rates on aileron and elevator
• Exponential rates on aileron and elevator
• Dual and exponential rates can be combined on one switch
• Trainer system compatible with Spektrum™ and JR® radio systems.
• Adjustable stick length
• Throttle trim only affects idle position
• Two-speed scrolling
• Throttle-smart fail-safe system
• Digital trims for precise adjustment•

Helicopter Specific Features
• Two 3-point throttle curves
• Three 3-point pitch curves
• Flight mode switch can combine throttle curves, pitch curves, dual and expo rates,
and gyro sensitivity
• Throttle hold
• Revolution mixing up and down
• One programmable mix
• Supports 120° CCPM mixing
• Independent digital trim setting for each flight mode

[font="Times New Roman"]]{OK, lets pretend that I am actually good!} Would all of these features be enough to satisfy a heli artist when they move op to .50+ birds?

Your Wisdom will be much appreciated, and if you pick another radio could you please let me know in what ways it would be better.’

Hi,

3-point pitch-curve is not what you would want for 3D-flight, 5-point is a good start.
But as you still have to learn flying, you have 2 years time before thinking about any 3D.
