Should I use less expensive aircraft for burn time first? I have never used any thing but JR for 30yrs, Other than Spectrum RX's.
Need REAL user input please.
Well I have one of the DX20 radios although I've not used it yet, I also have two JR 12X radios so I think I can offer some suggestions; you will not be able to directly import models from the 12X program, but the settings used will be very close. So a manual update/copy of the settings will get you close on control deflections and such. The rest of it won't be much use as the newer Spektrum stuff is so much different to program than JR.
That said, the programming is much more intuitive and if you just let the radio guide you through the initial setup, when you get to setting control deflections there will not be a lot to change. I would NOT leave the servos connected to their surfaces while you do this and mixes/flight modes will not transfer either.
As a matter of practice, I ALWAYS start out with less expensive models on a new radio, usually my foamies.... lol
The DX20 is a nice radio and I think you will enjoy it, but it is just a bit different to program than your JR.....
