My gws 4 ch tx just died on me
so now im going to get 6ch computer radio
I have narrowed it down to two
futaba 6exa super with 2 mirco servos and pcm reciever
i like the futaba because of the pcm reciever and the upgrades from the original exa

Hitec optic 6 with spectra
because of the assignable switches, heli functions (i also fly micro helis)

I would prefere the optic 6 but i have heard that there are alot of problems with them?
Im not sure how true this is?
I you were in my shows which radio would you choice and why?
thanks in advance
Mike

I have the Futaba 6 channel older version. Love it. It was set up to run helis too. Is not the new version heli friendly too? You can't beat the PCM, for playing with settings.

The futaba exa has heli functions?
can you use it on colective pitch helis?
Mike

Mike I was asking you if the new version was heli friendly?
My 6xas was definitely set up to run them.
Ok I just checked Futaba's site, the E is for fixed wing only![:@]

oh ok
How long does your tx bat last?
thanks
Mike

Good question. I've never had it go down, so at least in my experiences a couple of hours.
Note: I turn off the Tx after I disconnect the planes pack, to do adjustments etc.
