Hi guys,
So, I recently purchased some used equipment to help me get started. I have an E-flite Apprentice, with the "SAFE" receiver but no transmitter. I've also got an E-flite Mini Ultra Stick that is paired to a Spektrum DX6 Park Flyer edition. I've also ordered a DX6E bundled with an AR610 receiver.
I've already pretty much confirmed that the "DX6 Park flyer" is an obsolete transmitter and is probably only compatible with the AR6000 receiver that I'm not likely to find anymore. What I'm wondering is if there is a possibility that I can pair the receivers in the planes I currently have with the new DX6E transmitter.

I'm really hoping that I can pair up the receiver in the Apprentice because that seems like a cool system and would make this large and brittle airplane easier for me to get comfortable using, but are all bets off on the AR6000?
For that matter, is it considered "Safe" or "Normal Practice" to use a radio system that says "Park Flyer" right on the transmitter for an airplane like the Mini Ultra Stick? I have not flown it yet but I can already tell it has enough potential power to get away from an inexperienced pilot in a hurry.
Thanks all in advance for your replies and I hope this isn't a redundant post, I did some searching before I made the new thread.
