Okay...here we go. Considering either 6XAS or 9CA. I will only have a few models, so the 9 seems a bit overkill, but sure does seem to offer greater flexability and more functions that may prove useful as I progress.

Opinions on which would be the better buy in the short/long run?

Any "hands on" experience advice?

Thanks!

9C it is a good rario for the money and lots of features. I like mine.

Another vote for the 9C I just ordered mine and it should be in today. I decided that for me I know I am going to be doing this for a long time so it was cheaper to buy the 9C in the long run than to buy the 6X and then later on end up getting the 9C

There is really no comparison. The 9C is a far superior radio. If you can afford it, get it. You will be happy you did.

I ordered mine from Tower hobbies,after doing a long research,because the radio they are going to send you is calibrated with the receiver in the channel that you request.
If you can spend a little bit more go to the pcm option.

Once the "bug" really bites, you'll be amazed how quickly you'll want more planes. It is better to have more model memory than you have planes, so your "hangar" has room to grow, and so you can try new setups for planes without modifying the original setup.

I have a 6XAS and it's been a great radio. I just purchased an Ultra Stick 40 which can be setup with the separate flaps and ailerons, but a six channel radio won't give me the verstility to have each of the 4 surfaces on separate servos. I'm in the process of researching a radio that can handle more channels. The 9C looks like an excellent choice.

Four months after I bought my 6XAS, I ended up getting a 9C. I wish I had bought the 9C to start with.

I allways used Futaba,Is there any problems with JR that if you goto the Radios for sale Forum everybody is selling them?

Flyfalcons

No, both are fantastic systems.

I used to have several Futaba sets but now am JR. Only a personal preference.

Point is, buy as many channels as you can afford. You'll not regret it. I went from the 6Xas to an 8103. I only had the 6 for a few months and quickly ran out of channels.

If you stay with brand F, get the 9C by all means.
