Switching?

[shadco]

I'm pondering making the switch from a DX8 to Futaba.

I'm trying to figure out which one.

I have 4 birds

1 with a Skookum 720 and a DSMX satellite.

What I like about the DX8 is not having to use an RX, this is a 450. I also like being able to have 3 cyclic gains tied to the 3 position gear switch and having 3 tail gail setting tied to the 3 position gyro switch.

is there a comparable satellite solution using futaba and can I setup cyclic and tail gain like the DX8.

I have 2 birds with AR7200BX rx/beastx combo's I run these with DSMX satellites on a tree 500 and a protos. I would consider switching these over to beastx especially if there is a way to set them up on futaba with something like satellites.

Last bird is a Gaui X2 with beastx, and a DSMX Satellite, if there is a similar satellite like solution with futaba I would go that way.

Telemetry would be nice to have.

and

I will be adding a couple of planks to the fleet.

Which Futaba TX is best suited to replace the DX8?.


Is the RS6203SB suitable in combo with a beastx on 500 size birds?

Futaba radios do not use satellites. However, many FBL controllers are compatible with Futaba's S-Bus, so the R6203SB RX will work just fine. It is very small and full range with dual diversity antennas ( 2 antennas).

The 8FGS (which has 14 channels) has three axis gyro menus and different rates for each (3 IIRC).

Ordered 8FGHS, and a small pile of R6203SB's

I think I'll be pulling my hair out figuring out how to get everything working on 4 birds, 3 beastx and 1 SK 720
