New to the digital world. Used to use futaba back in the day. Not a novice but need some guidance.
Being guided by the local hobby shop to spectrum dxm tx's. With no experience im not sure who to believe. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated thaxxx in advance

If you are going to get the PNP, Plug N Play, planes you have to get Spectrum. If not you can choose many brands. It depends on what you want to spend. I prefer Futaba FASST. I also still fly 72 mhz.

Another excellent choice (by far the best buy) is the Tactic TX850. High quality, low price, 30 model memory, lots of bells and whistles, easy to program and inexpensive receivers. You will be doing yourself a favor by at least checking one out. There are also plug and play planes available for the SLT (secure link technology) class of planes. Tower Hobbies often has some really great deals on the Tactic along with discount coupons.

local hobby shop is offering the 6 dmx w/ rx and rechargeable batteries for ~250 with chargers Nmh batts. sounds like a good deal. still have to pay sales tax

Hitec has an excellent selection of radio systems. Reasonably priced. I have used Hitec products for 15 years. Never any problems.

All depends on what you are going to fly. If you are going to fly park fliers and traditional 4 channel airplanes, its a good radio. I would look at 8 channel radios for down the road. Missing the modern ability to run multiple servos on one channel through the TX is limiting with todays planes.
