Thank you guys for all your input. I probably will just stick with Spektrum/JR until i do have an issue that is associated the with radio equipment. I do intend on upgrading my radio hopefully next year seeing as i need to install a governor on my heli and i need the extra channel. I was thinking about the JR 11X but i was worried about spending $700 on a radio that may be using an inferior technology. Was also planning on keeping my old dx6i just incase i have an issue with my new radio or it breaks, that way I'm not out until my radio is fixed.

I do have another question, I dont think the 11X has this, but I have noticed that there are some radios that have an air and a heli version what is the difference? Can the heli version work with planes? Once again thanks for all the input and suggestions.
