I think ANYONE looking for a new or first radio should look no farther than the DX-7. For now, it's the only 2.4 GHz system on the market that is in general use.

The DX-6 is only good for park-flyers. I think the DX-7 comes with one receiver, 4 Digital servos (standard, nothing special) a battery and a wall-wart. 72 MHz is going the way of non-computer radios very quickly. (Yeah they work fine, but why bother?)

Think of it, no freq board, no interference and no...having your multi-thousand-dollar scale aerobat shot-down by someone who, either didn't know any better or made an honest mistake by turning-on to work on his old .25 powered lazy-bee that he spends more time fixing than flying....(No, I'm not bitter...and the guy turned-off in time to save the plane).
