Hi all . I am new member here came from Thailand.
I just bought DX7 yesterday, everything fine and better than my old 6ex but It has one problem that I dont know why.

The smaller receiver doesn't work(LED not lighten) some time when switch on. I have to wait for a while shut down and turn it on again.

Some of my friend told me that maybe Wi-Fi signal(802.11G 2.4GHZ) interrupt DX7

PS. I used to fly with 9CHP which belong to my friend. I think 9CHP is smoother the different just transmission system but just my opinion.

I like the software better in the 9c and the transmission system better on the DX.

Yeah i have a 9CHPS for my TRex450 but just got a DX7 for my TRex600E kit I am building.. seems like a decent radio... definitely not as sophisticated or same quality, but I suspect it will do the trick for me...

I really wish Futaba had a 9 channel DSM2 radio..oh well....

The DX7 servos are fully size, but not strong enough for a heli like a Trex 600. I will probably sell mine on eBay or something...

guys, i think i will also get the DX7 myself. but would there be any problems with it? coz i used to have spektrum for my nitro car, and somehow it will go crazy sometimes. i m ordering my trex clone of CopterX, so the recommended servo is Hitech 65MG x 3pcs, and m planning to use Futaba GY401 + S9257. is this setup good enough? thanks.

DX7 is packaged in several configurations. One of them comes with DS285 servos (that's what I am using on a Trex 450).

Here is a random example

hmm, but from what i see on those online sites, all of them comes with the bigger servos DS821.

oh, i was told that we need additional UBEC for DX7, is it true?

some questions here : if i were to use UBEC, that means that i need to use an additional battery pack, doesn't that add weight if i were to fly Trex450SE? and also, i intend to use GY401 + S9257, do i still need to use step down regulator in between this gyro and rudder servo?
