Hmmmmm, been thinking of upgrading to DX7 from DX6i, may wait for this.

In either case, does anyone know if its possible to get your settings/planes off the DX6i onto one of the other two? Don't really want to have to reprogram every plane...

the closeup pics shows triple rates on the elevator. All switches are fully assignable too. I wonder if this will be priced to compete with the Aurora 9?

I'm hoping it's close to the 7, if not I'll be going with the 7 instead. Not that it's a bad thing, 7 is more than capable for the stuff I need. 8 is sweet tho.

If it doesn't say "Futaba" on it, I don't want it!

Since there is not even a hint about the availability date, and you're planning to buy in two weeks or less, it will be the DX7.

If you REALLY want to be "that guy" you need to step up to the $2k level and get a Futaba 14MZ.

I have a 6XAS and a 9C. The 6XAS cost about $230 and the 9C was about $250 so I definitely will never be "that guy."

My LHS says that they were told they would not see for at least a month. They have no idea on price. It is not on the Horizon website that I can find, which is sort of strange
