I have (2) RDS8000, (2) RD6000's, Hitech 4channel, couple of the old Vanguard 4 and 6 channel, 4 and 6 channel Futaba's, Kraft Bicentennial, (4) 6 channel Tx's from ready to fly setups. I have been around since EK Logic, Kraft and Heath kit.

Every radio out there has an issue, nothing can cover every setup option. Most of what I do is sport flying with 3D and aerobatics. I also fly helicopters. The RD6000's have been flawless. I have more hours on them then I care to think about.My RDS800's may not have EXPO on rudder but there is a simple work around where you mix rudder to rudder at 50%, flip the C-mix switch and you have 50% travel. The EPA on slave aileron has gotten me to make sure my mechanical setup is right and to not depend on the radio to fix my setup.

I did have a problem with my Hitec and Futaba radio's that could not be fixed. That is why I went with Airtronics. The issues with Hitec and Futaba were more with the repair part of the companies. They have improved a great deal from when I tried their service centers.

I would not have a problem with a Jr, Futaba, Hitec, or Airtronic radio today. They are all great radio's. Each has its high points and each has its low points. I still use the cheapy radios from the ready to fly stuff for my park flyers and the foamies. I just do not trust them to fly my nitro planes.


Right now Hobby People have the RDS8000 on sale for $99.00 with a single Rx. How can you pass that up???
