Topic: Which manufacturer?

Hi,

I'm a Cockpit SX2.4 user so have a bias. It's the best!

But, more realistically though, we're all used to programming whatever manufacturer we currently own. You need a set that you can program with little difficulty and without having to learn somebody else's warped way of thinking. If you're currently on Futaba/JR/MPX/Spektrum/Hitec/Whatever then probably best to stick with them. The only rider on that is 'Does the transmitter actually do what you want?' Try the transmitter out; does it feel good in your hand? Can it be programmed to your preferred mode? Get the shop assistant to demonstrate the programming.

The manufacturers above all produce good kit with few reliability issues. Get advice from a club member; at least they should be on hand to answer your questions.

Good value for money.

Programmable rx's (this for me means I can use a 6 channel rx for a 6 servo model)

whats it like to program, MH?

sorry Bob, only just revisited this thrad.

When I first got it I hated it, having come from a DX7, but once I got used to it it was quite logical. It's just that there's a few quirks in there that are probably a translation issue, but that's all. It's a really versatile radio & I love it now.
