Well, the Orange just came out with the DSM2 Tx module. That means all the T9X owner can fly BNF of spectrum/horizon plane/heli wthout getting a spectrum tx.

especially for those T9X already has a removable module. No mod what so ever is needed, just plug and play.
For er9x upgraded T9X, you will have one of the best programming functionality for horizon BNF plane/heli. Cheers!

Well, I know what I'm getting when my DX6i packs it in!

Amazing, a Spektrum-compatible, nine-channel transmitter for eighty bucks.

That's pretty cool, thanks for the info. I've been happy with my DX6i, but I'll confess I wouldn't mind a 2nd Idle Up switch position, maybe a spare channel, etc. The DX8 would be a great upgrade, but $300 for a TX feels like kind of a lot to me. I'd prefer to put the money towards a different heli, rather than a TX.

But ~$100 or so would be interesting, if I could use it with my DSM2/DSMX stuff.

How is the T9X radio itself? Gimbals quality, feel, reliability, etc? Crashing my mCP X due to a radio problem is one thing, crashing something bigger would be bad. I've been burned by crashes due to cheap electronics, like a bad ESC, I don't want any more issues like that.

You word-for-word spoke my mind exactly.

(This isn't the first time either)

At least its not the whole transmitter that is transparent orange plastic.

The new 9XR coming out soon sounds like it is also going to be a very nice radio. They are taking their time releasing it though.
Also it looks like there is a Orange TX coming very soon and I think it's gonna be a big hit with those in the RC community who are color blind because it is the see through orange colour that their RX's are.
