check out new hobbyking transmitter  2.4Ghz FHSS 6Ch
with servo reversing switch

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16239

Now this is a really good entry level option. I wish one of the hobby stores can track down the original manufacturer and import these in bulk, like Sai did a while ago for some workshop.

Now this is great. Only thing i missed in old 6ch hobbycity is the missing reverse switch and dint buy it. I was more than satisfied with the 4ch 2.4gh which I currently have. Not even a single glitch in a number of flights which I have done since one year. I have even used it with the glider where i can barely see the model itself.
Was planning for a turnigy only because the 6ch doesnt have the reverse channel switch, now will wait for reviews from other ppl.

At double this price (which is around 1200), the Turnigy 9 Channel Computer Radio is much, much better option considering it provides almost all the programming facilities oferred by much costlier OEM Radios

I dont think it takes much time for a beginner to crave for Model memory, 3-4 essential mixes and most importantly Servo reverse. Its stupid to carry a laptop to field to do these things using computer, like  the 6Channel HK Tx is supposed to be programmed.

$23 Vs $53 .... the difference in price is not so much.

Hmm I am considering turnigy as a low cost transmitter for my fpv, the remaining money I can invest in eagletree osd with rth as failsafe.
But if Hobbycity comes with a 9ch transmitter with model memory and computer programming I would grab it

Dear Praveen,

1. Do you have HobbyKing HK6DF 2.4Ghz FHSS 6Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2) in stock??
2. Does the price(3500/-) include PC cable for programming??
3. Can I run a simulator with this Tx?
3. What kind of battery it is having?? And is a charger included??(Am I asking too much?? )
4. How much an extra compatible Rx will cost??

Regards
Vishwas

frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) It is good because you get very little to no interference.

It has a PS2 Trainer Port and it has 6-channel 2.4GHz transmitter with servo reversing & elevon mixing.

rx available separately

8xAA batt, i think, charger you'll have to buy, what i do is, i have one more set charged and ready, and i swap, easier that way

Thanks Augustine,

I could understand the trainer port. But can I connect it to PC and practice on a simulator??

Regards

Vishwas

Praveen, do you plan to stock Turnigy 9X 9Ch, this is a 9Ch and is similar is price to HK-7X 2.4Ghz 7ch

if you ask me honestly. you will soon feel the need to move on from this Tx Rx, this is a entry level stuff. Praveen has Futab 6EX (http://flying--rc.blogspot.com/2011/03/futaba-6ex-6-channel-24ghz.html) with orange rx combo, that is the deal , if i were you i will be looking at, of course for a given budget this is not bad, Expo, throttle curve etc, you will realize , you will need over a period of time, As regards Turnigy radio it s a Hot Cake, it goes into backorder within hours of arrival. I waited for 3  months for a radio and 5 Rx.

It uses a DIN connector not PS2 right?

Website review says PS2, Once again, this is a stop gap arrangement / fixed to a model/ model types of model radio. Cheap and Best.  like, i only use my trusted Skysport for my scratch built, because i am used to its feel more than any other radio and i trust in that radio, however if i use skysport on my heli i will be a fool, that's what i meant, For me personally the major advantage being a slider trimmer, gr8 for banner towing, especially after you drop the banner, slider goes to its known location without looking down at the trim indicator.

Can anybody tellme where is the sim port(or does it even exist)?
