All my planes are 6 channel or less. I have about 50 planes. So, I have 6 channel Tactic, Futaba, and Spektrum transmitters. Here's my final analysis. If cost is your major factor, go with Tactic; it is the most cost effective from my perspective. However, if you think you'll have more than 20 planes, go with Spektrum; it has a 250 model memory. Futaba is too expensive for me. And, Taranis is too complicated for me.I'm sure other people will have other preferences.Tom
