RE: rx choice
Rhilluk:
Let me add that any of the 2.4 GHz systems are doing just fine on the marketplace as well as in the field. I can comment on Spektrum because I own a DX6i as well as a DX7 and both do more than I am capable of making them do.
The Airtronics RDS8000 is another high-quality radio system in the 2.4GHz category, and are priced to sell.
Look them all over before making any decisions and pick one from the major manufacturers, Airtronics, Futaba, Hitec, Spektrum/JR, any of them will do you just fine.
