Hey guys,

I am not sure why, but I ordered one of the 8/9 channel Turnigy 2.4Ghz transmitters when they were selling for $39 plus $22 shipping from HK including one 8 channel receiver. I finally got it after being on backorder for a month. It is actually a very nice radio. Feel and quality is somewhere between my DX6i and DX7. I tested all helicopter functions and all works well. It even has a built in servo test function for all channels simultaneously so you can spot a bad servo. The LCD screen is better than either the DX6i or DX7, and the programming is much easier than the DX7. The main reason I was interested is that it has three rotary knobs that can be set to any of the aux channels 5 - 9. So you can have a proportional channel on 7 or 8 on a fbl helicopter.

Here is the link: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html

Has anyone else tried one of these?

I was actually debating on picking one up and modifying it for slightly longer range. I may still, but let me know how the radio works for you over time. I'd greatly appreciate it.

How's the radio for you? Still pretty happy with your purchase?

I installed the backlight kit and lipo battery and got two more receivers, but have not flown with it yet. I really like the programming and display. Also being able to send the proportional knobs to channel 7 and 8 is really nice. Still need to do a range check, but these things are quite popular and if anything, I am expecting better range than my DX6i and DX7, even with the stock transmitter module. Really nice that you can change it out to support FPV. I still REALLY like this radio. The backorder stays at about 500 on these things at Hobby King...so they take a month or two to get.
