Its a nice radio..........I could of gone with one of the computer radios.........the 6DA has many of the mixing features of the compouter radios.........without the programming.

Since it has most of the basic mixing features I would recommend it.

I know most people here say the computer radios are easy to program...........dont lose the half inch thick manual.

I had one of the 6XAS radios.........and they are not that easy to program. Its pretty easy once you play with it a while.......then a month later you want to change a setting or add a plane......and the next thing you know you have the manual out again trying remember how to make that new set of settings.

I would still have the 6XAS but it was stolen so I bought the 6DA. I fly multichannel Sailplanes and it satisfies my needs including mixing some functions.

I want a radio I can grab and go flying. I only fly one plane at a time..........so having the muti-plane function is not a big loss.

I am not putting computer down radios.......for some people they are mandatory. But dont be fooled into thinking you will up and running in 30 minutes.

In fact for most futaba computer radios that I have seen the servos will not even work out of the box till you program them.

Just my 2 cents
