Hi! New to this forum and fairly new to the plane section of RC. I come from quads and racing drones, so I'm not very familiar with planes. I have a few questions relating to planes. It will be appreciated if you can answer them
1. Is the FS-T6 a decent starter transmitter? I am pretty limited in terms of budget (because my parent's are not supportive) so I bought it and it seems ok except that it feels cheap and the gimbals aren't the best.
2. Why are some transmitters only able to control certain types of RC stuff? I first wanted to use the FS-i6 for planes but apparently, the FS-i6 only supports gliders and drones (maybe heli too. I can't remember), and the FS-T6 supports planes and helis but not drones. Why is that?
3. Later on, when I get enough I'm planning to get a much better transmitter. Any suggestions? (It'll be nice if it's under 300$. Maybe like the Turnigy 9x, the Taranis x9d, etc.) I would like a smoother gimbal. I don't mind too much about the other functions but at least 6~7 channels.
4. The Turnigy 9x has these modules. What are they for? What do they do? Is there any benefits to it?
5. Where can I get tools and parts reliably? I live in Indonesia which is pretty limited in terms of the RC hobby. (I couldn't even find a damn RC switch nor Futuba / Spektrum transmitters!). I can only buy from 'local' internet shops such as Tokopedia or Lazada, which are generally expensive and limited. Where can I get parts and supplies reliably and fast? I don't think places like Banggood are the best because their customer service is absolutely terrible. I also visit Korea once in a while, so maybe if it can't get shipped to Indonesia, Korea might do.
