I don't know why you couldn't use an AR6200, it's the 6 channel version of the AR7000. $20.00 cheaper! :wink:
Servo's are a matter of choice, but I would choose a digital high speed servo with high torque.

Ar7000. The secondary rx is good insurence. $20 ? That's not much. Certainly not when you figure in crashing.

Something weird like remote lighting? On a nitro, with the Governor, but this is an electric, other than maybe triggering a camera or lights, you wouldn't need 7.

usually only if you has some kind of switch. Like a switch for night glow wire or a camera. or if you have a heli with 4 swash servos i guess you'd need the seventh channel.
Meh, Graham beat me to it :)

Ya. I guess I was thinking 6100. Haven't payed that much attention to the 6200. I just run the ar7000 in both the 450 and 600.

wow! the 7000 is a bit overkill in the 450. I fly the ar6000 in mine, and I've taken it straight up till i lost the tail boom, and then went a little higher, and never lost connection. :YeaBaby:

Why squabble over $20.00 for the extra insurance of having better visibility to the TX. Plus you'll blow $20.00 many times over on other non-essential bling!

As mentioned, the 6200 has the remote Rx as well.
