ORIGINAL: Rockabilly Basher
................ Right now I'm leaning towards the Futaba 6EX 6 channel 2.4GHz and it comes with the R617FS receiver and 4 S3004 ball bearing servos. From there I would simply get more of the same servos and receivers as I get more planes. Does this sound correct, or am I off my rocker?
Any assistance will help this newb save a bunch I'm sure, so thanks in advance.
Nope, you are still firmly planted on your rocker and on the right path (re many planes on one remote and the fact your looking at 2.4Ghz)
Re the 6ch systems, they are 'limited' to around 10 or so models normally (my Dx6i Specktrum unit only has 10 available), and are not normally supplied with an upgradable memory like the higher end units that use SD cards for memory and model expansion.
IF you think you will end up with 10 or less, the 6ch system you list is a great idea (I just had my dad get that very system). IF you thin your going to go nuts and get lots and lots of planes or some big scale jobs with retracts and door bays etc, get the best system you can AFFORD - it'll save you money in the long run!
All the best!
