Hi, I am knew and using a fly sky i6x and I was wondering if this was a good radio ore if I should invest in a better one
I am looking into a DX6 and knowing you have a DX6e I was going to ask you which one you think I should go forI mean it really comes down to what you want to use it for. I have the Spektrum dx6e and love it. It had a lot of features that more expensive transmitters have for a decent price. @BATTLEAXE uses a Spektrum dxe. If your radio isn’t limiting you, then I’d spend the extra cash on more gear, a simulator, etc...
Dx6 is overall better, but again it comes to what features you want. The three main differences that come to my mind other than price are the dx6 has the ability to do telemetry, has voice alerts, and has a diversity antenna meaning it has two antennas and switches between the one with the best signal. Telemetry would be great for monitoring battery voltage and temperatures, but since I do mainly scrach builds, they don’t stay around too long and for me would be kinda a waste to put a lot into one. Voice alerts are cool, but not a game changer imho. I’ve never had range issues regarding my my dx6e transmitter ever. Good luck!I am looking into a DX6 and knowing you have a DX6e I was going to ask you which one you think I should go for

The dxe doesn’t have a screen, but the dx6 and dx6e do.that looks like a nice radio stick to it. since you are still learning, is has a display for when you need to make changes in the field , dx6 does not have a display, while dx6e does. having more channel's would be in the advance pilot setting, it would be only if you have more stuff on you'r plane like a pan camera rack or drop bomb bay. if you are not into that stick with what you have.
SO let's see. I'm just starting out; Rudder, elevator, ailerons, throttle, flaps and 1 spare kinda eats up a 6 channel. With all of the great advances in our hobby is 6 really going to be enough going forward??
