Deanz406 is my twin bro' & although we both have the passion for flight, I am a bit opposite with the varying parameters of RC Tx's. Retreading back into RC in '90, I used my faithful JR Century VII & Hitec Challenger720 as they worked perfectly & I never had any issues with range or advanced flight needs. 5 yrs ago, at our monthly club meeting, a fellow club member brought his JR10X touchscreen computer radio & allowed me to examine it & all the features & I knew I wanted one. After getting a great buy on a very clean used one, it took me 3 months to learn how to use it, program the varying flight attributes available, & get a really good grasp of the power available to tailor my flying style & needs. I found it to give me everything i would ever need for the plane genres in my hangar. I use 72Mhz like my bro' & also the new 2.4Ghz freq. with the additional Spektrum DM-9 module on my 10X for flexibility. Our club is quite firm with using the 72Mhz freq. & assuring the Freq. pin board at our club field is used by each member flying with 72Mhz & thus have not had any issues. So, as you can see, we each have to determine needs & what type of Tx system benefits our usage. Everyone is different.
