Radio suggestions

[DoubleD]

I'm thinking about buying/building a T-Rex and am now looking at radios. It seems like there's enough radios for every day of the year. I need help sorting through all the clutter and find a radio that's going to be able to do some 3-D stuff (eventually) as well as be used for helis to come.

:cool: I too am building a T-Rex. My radio of choice was a JR 9303 due to its versatility. The radio has nine channels, a 30 model memory (not that I have 30 models) and is loaded with extras. I like the pre-programed swash settings and the fact that setting up a new model is a breeze. I purchased it at HobbyTown from a friend with just the Tx and Rx for $430.00. While this may seem a bit expensive, this radio will also allow me to use it with my fixed wings, or if I ever get into gliders(doubtfull :rolleyes: ), will control them as well. I bought it without the servos, because I would rather choose the ones I want to use on each particular model and felt as though they would go to waste. :cool:

Don't overlook the Optic 6, just steer clear of the spectra module for right now as it sems to be causing most all the problems. I'm still a very beginner at all this heli stuff but the seperate throttle and pitch trims at the finger tips are cool, sweet to be able to bump the throttle curve a bit when my nimh starts to flatten.

I really need to go lipo, but then I might be tempted to abuse the T-Rex and I am thrilling myself enough with my arf #36 just hovering...

If I were to buy right now I'd get the JR 9303. As I say that I currently fly the Futaba 9C which would be my second choice. I bought my 9C before the 9303 came out so all my receivers are Futaba so it makes sense to stick with my 9C :) . Get either one of these radios and you will be very happy with them.
