Mighty Mini Arrow - Servo Hookup

[Houndpup Rc]

Yes, better interface, easier to navigate, and feels betther in the hands. Buuuttt, the problem is the price. I just can’t justify that price for a transmitter. And the receivers cost 3x as much as the flysky ones. So for now on I’m just gonna use flysky.

Yeah

NOT starting a brand battle. LOL!

Think of Spektrum as iPhone and RadioMaster/ETX as Android.
Both work great.
One is pricey, but somewhat more user friendly if you don't want to deal with all the tech details and uses more or less limited proprietary-ish radio equipment.
The other is very affordable, less user friendly to a degree, although more customizable and versatile if you enjoy digging into the tech details.

Well, that's my opinion anyway.

I have Airtronics, Futaba, Spektrum and RadioMaster . Each has its place. Love 'em all, too.

Another way you can look at it is that when you start off learning to fly, any radio will suffice.

When it does come important is when you decide to step up to buy a new radio, you need to see where your interest is going. Say your goal is to fly large scale in the future. Did you know in some setups it requires 9 servos? I also wanted 5 modes of flight. Then some mixes. See what I mean?

Another was in a scale transport, where 1 engine starts, waits 5 sec, and then the second starts (automated), then gives you control to fly it. I programmed another sequencer so that it has a brake(3 modes) so it was locked at startup, to taxi, it was a sequencer that oscillated the brake on and off so when throttle was advanced it would have a constant speed and when ready to takeoff, brake on, run engines up for takeoff, then release brake.
How about a gun turret rotating ? Sequencers do that.

For many, a 6-7 channel is good with some mixing fits the bill. Just research what your intent is.(number of channels, mixes, fly helis, etc)
Then find the radios that offer those needs and choose what fits you.

Oh for sure! But I think if a person could afford all that stuff they could afford a pretty nice transmitter! I am just talking about us guys who are just doing ft planes or the equivalent of those, I don't think a better transmitter is necessary.

That's the point of my first sentence, go what Flitetest recommends. Your questions about the radio can be answered by others including using a gyro.

Use @L Edge as a how to do it properly. Then you get my use case: hacking stuff because you won't afford decent. Back in the day there were Mechanical mixers because the radio wasn't built that way. Elevons on a wing that isnt a flying wing.... what could go wrong? Fwiw, I spent an entire day fiddling with switches for my flying wing wondering what combo of 3 switches gave me the proper response.
