Yes this is a big plus for Spektrum / JR. I had two crashes with Helicopters on Futaba (both totally my fault for not selecting the correct model)

This was with a 6EX. With the more advanced models I own like the 8FG and 14SG it is less of a problem because you can configure the radio to force you to choose the model every time you power up. It won't power up until you do. These models allow longer model names also (it helps when one radio drives 12 different helicopters)
