| New Spektrum Tx's on the way |
| There are 4 replies, with the last one on 10/03/2010 at 16:06:08 by YOUNG GUN Quote: This is just my personal opinion but i've always found the Spektrum radios a lot harder for me to get to grips with...I find the futaba radios easier to understand and better/simplistic layout (But not without their faults - i'm not hailing them as perfect!) That new DX10 has way way too many switches and buttons for my liking! But - if you have a Spektrum radio then i guess it would be an easier change. Also as said - it seems aimed at the use of a tray - again something i dont bother with. |

| There are 1 replies, with the last one on 07/03/2010 at 19:45:57 by milzy Quote: Hello I have a big high wing trainer & after a few flights I now fly 3d planes. However I'm young & play PS3, xbox 360 & pc games alot. They say young ones pick it up fast. Flying is not as difficult as some make out. I even have a friend with a real pilots license & he is thicker than 2 short planks. Look out for a nice deal on a super cub or something. Nitro planes are messy I'm going electric route from now on. £100 is a tight budget.I managed to get Vmar Apache & all the gear for £100 from ebay though. |
