I cannot say how I know. But Spektrum has some things in the works, that is totally awesome .

Also you may want to check out the new [link=http://h1073414.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=SPM6600] DX6i[/link] . I got to try this out on a Airplane and a Heli very nice radio for the money.

I`m fairly new also, so have no loyalty to any brand . If it was`nt for being shot down, I`d be content with my cheap ole 6 c. FM.
But been playing some with Heli`s and have ventured into electrics, and I luv my glow. I like the idea of being able buy all the different recievers, for the different applications and use one radio. So I went with a DX7.

Also own Ford and Chevys .lol
