Actually Minnflyer,
The Futaba 6xas and 6xhs are only different in a few physical points. The labels on the switches are different and the throttle is smooth and not ratcheted. As far as programming power the radio's use the same software. There are no mixing options in the Heli version that the Airplane version does not have. I cannot recommend the futaba 6x series if planning to fly airplanes and helis.
