Yes, Shad, you understand correctly. You cannot use your own TX with the HL 6.0 but you can use your own TX with the TG v3. I don't think TG will add the features that HL has because they try to keep all of their stuff compatible with everything that's come before. I know it doesn't work that way with the V1 and V2 TX, but they do their best. As for HL giving you the option to use your own TX, I wouldn't look for that anytime soon. But I do understand that they're coming out with a new controller for the 6.1. Let's just hope it has a more hobby grade feel to it.
