Greetings Fellow Hobbyists,
First time poster long time lurker and fan of Flite Test and what they have brought to the hobby. I am returning to the hobby of rc flight after about 10 years off. Was into rc helis at the time, but have been into rc one way another since the late 80s from rc10 racing to more recently RC Rock Crawling. I have a big birthday coming up ie turning 40, so I wanna get back into rc flight. This time planes then helis with the FT Swapables being my main interest right now and possibly adding a quad soon after, the any-copter 370 quad looks like a nice frame.
Anyways long story short...too late I know.
To get to the point of why im posting in the radio/transmitter section is I'am looking for opinions on a radio system. I used to have Futaba radios years ago but recently Spektrum since I have a DX4S for my rock crawler.
I have been looking at the following, Airtronics Aquilia-6, Spektrum DX6 or the DX9 but also Turnigy 9XR, Orange. Also since reading the forum the FrSky Taranis since everyone keeps mentioning it. To me it seems like it would be too much of a radio for me till I hone my skills again and also expand on other aircraft other then swapables.
So I guess my main question is this, Airtronics Aquilia-6, Spektrum DX6/DX9, Turnigy 9XR, Orange?? But consider me a beginner if not a total newb since my stick time was mostly then sim time (need to get another I know) and RTF/ARF Heli kits from awhile ago (pre-lipo and FM transmitters days).
Thanks in advance and if you made it this far thank you for patience.
Taka
