It seems like alot of guys feel the DX6i is the best upgrade to most of the SR line. I would think the DX7 would be a better choice at this point. Enlighten me if I'm wrong.

Thanks

Yes, if you can afford it the DX7 is a better radio.

If you plan to get more heli's in the future, the DX7 is a radio that you can grow in to. It can fly a nitro with governor, has a nicer feel than the DX6 and programming is relatively easy.
It is also one of the standards, so there is a ton of support. It can be seen in a few set-up videos of some very well known heli suppliers.

I had the same question as crashcanuck, so thanks guys

DX7 is the next item on my wishlist for use with my mSR, 120 SR, and whatever is next.

You can visit Horizon Hobby's web pages and do a side-by-side comparison

When I get back from Cuba i will start saving my pennies. And on a different note my buddy who works at Air Canada thinks I should have no trouble getting my MCX2 and MSR to Cuba and back. So if I can shoehorn them and my 4 port charger into my MCX box they are making the trip to Cuba. I'm still kind of worried about Cuban customs on the way home though.
