Hi All,
First question for you kind folks here.
Am new to the hobby and am getting me and my two sons into this as well. We have the old FM version of the Supercub (3 channel). We want to get a good programmable TX that will allow us to do both planes and helicopters. Spektrum seems to be the brand in MN (twin cities area) and am trying to decide between the DX6i or the DX8.
I hate to buy one model to only want to upgrade in short order, but don't really understand which features on the 8 justify the cost. On the other hand, if I go with the 6i, I could get a few controllers which I know we will want soon if we all go out to the field at the same time.
I am not sure which way to go, and having no prior experience, I can't decide.
For a family of four with three enthusiasts, would it make more sense to go with the 6i (or several) or get one 8 and slowly add them over time?
Any other recommendations are welcome as well.
Thanks for your thoughts!
