relatively little known brand from Czechoslovakia rather stands out...

I'm not saying they aren't worth it and I'm sure if one has $10-15k (or more) in the air you want to know the control system
is the best their is.

It's a study in contrasts. Many here in this hobby blanch at the thought of forking over a few hundred for anything...

I gotcha.

Well they aren't unknown, the flying guys have been using them for several years and many with many thousands invested in jets and such fly them. Holding them they feel like a fine German motorcar in your hands.

They are also a bit complicated to wrap your head around the programming, have excellent telemetry and integration with things like the Demon Cortex gyros, fuel flow meters etc.

I guess I wouldn't blink an eye on that if I had many thousands of dollars in the air...tanks generally don't vaporize when there's a crash...these super cool jets and helicopters they turn into pic up sticks pretty quick.

I still would pay more for a radio like the F 14...that was a cool set up for tanks and constru tion equipment

More TX's that aren't quite so bling are the Servonaut, Brixl, Graupner stuff. I'm currently looking at a Servonaut for my excavator. Like most of these high channel Tx's you can do it by "levels" Have your 12 or so channels and a simple hit of switch sets selected gimbals and switches to a new "level" of new command channels. Essentially you can daisy chain 2 RX's or slave off of one and lose 1st level while controlling 2nd level. Also this is still minded towards r/c construction with the sliders for track movements. You can also up grade for not much to true 3D sticks so you have a rotating stick to control things such as tracks or door gunner, fire hose, etc.
