Hello, I'm glad to see everyone back together. I'm in the process of purchasing a new TX. I have a Spektrum DX6i that the scroll wheel is going on it. I sprayed some juice "Electrical cleaner" on the scroll wheel and with my compressor blew it out and so far it works but i heard it's temporary fix. Now i have my eye on the DX8 or DX6. The DX7 did cross my mine but the price scared me away. Can anyone tell me the pros or cons of their DX6 or DX8. I don't fly airplanes or sail and my fleet is only consist of two birds," Tarot 450 DFC and Gaui X3 "Belt Drive" and both have AR7200BX. I won't be increasing my collection of birds anytime soon til i improve on my flying or crash less! LOL. I just want to here some comments on either TX. Thank you for your time in advance.

The New DX6 looks cool.
If you are not needing any more than 6 channels, then I'd go for that.
I have a DX8 and love it. I fly Helis, Multis, planes and Gliders, so I need the 8 channels.

Hey Lee, the DX6 does look cool and the price is right also. Everyone that has the DX8 seem to be all satisfied with theirs. That's why I'm leaning toward the DX8. I really don't need more then 6 channel so the DX6 is enough for me. DX7 is too much $. I'm so confuse but I'll keep on researching and scratching my head til i buy the right one for me. Thanks for the input!

Hey there Stambo, my fly buddy just received his Taranis TX just a couple of days ago and he's bring it this weekend flying for the first time with this TX. He swear by it! Will Find out more this weekend "weather permitted" about his Taranis.

Bruce on rcmodelreviews has a good video on the Taranus, it looks a great piece of kit, if I get another one it will be that for sure..

Love mine, value for money I don't think there's anything better.
A bit of a learning curve but what ever you want to do, someone else already has and made a video.
