RE: Range of Spektrum's AR6100 Receiver (don't make the mistake I made)
Thanks for all the responses guys.
I'm about to fly a mini-heli (first collective pitch) and am planning on using a Spectrum system. I'm not sure if I will wait for the DX6i or go with the DX6 or DX7. I have read one post where the user says the DX7 has a stronger lock on his model than his DX6 does. He had interference issues from a 2.4 Ghz router happy neighborhood with his DX6 but was cured when he swapped in the DX7. I didn't think the TX power would be higher in the DX7. I just thought it had more features.
Aside from the transmitter, I'm not sure which receiver I'll use but the previous testing is REALLY helpful. I just have to guage how far I might fly this heli. From what I've read these are the ranges:
AR6000> 2000 feet
AR6100> 300-400 feet
AR6100e > ?
AR6200> ?
AR7000> ???
Most if not all require a minimum of 3.5v .
Can anyone confirm that the DX7 transmitter puts out a higher power signal than the DX6? I wonder if the DX6i's output power will be increased.
What would you other 400 size heli flyers use?
THANKS!!!
