soane Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'm pretty happy with the progress I'm making with my MSR and I've read that a DX6i makes a hugh difference in it's flyability so is it worth me investing in one? Bearing in mind that I may advance onto CP's in the future. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabba1 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Try find a used dx7 mate,looks and feels better than a dx6i, dx7 has a few more features too for heli's. jabba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi its ok for cp Helis,i use one on trex500,& also Hirobo scale Helis,but as jabba1 says the 7 or the 8 will be a better one if you can get hold of them in a price to suit,but the 6 is a good buy.

david Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 well yes a 7 would be better but the dx6i is a very good set works well and does what it say on the tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I bought a Dx6i .... and if all you have flown with before is a stock controller....be prepared for a surprise. A nice one. It's only when you fly with a 'proper' radio that you realise how floppy, imprecise and mushy the stock controllers are. I struggled to take off smoothly with my SR120 on the stock radio, and I assumed it was just me....but it was the radio. I was having to put in so much stick input to counteract the ground effect etc. that I was all over the place. With the DX6, I just didn;t need to. I could make fine adjustments to keep it level with no drama and no overcontrolling. Sure...the DX7 and 8 will be better.... but you can buy a new DX6 controller only to bind to Blade helis for around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 i've just purchased the dx6i today, ill be using it for my quad copter build, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclingSalmon14 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 What nitro said describes my experience perfectly... Only I was trying to learn a mcpx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 the dx6 is a nice piece of kit and you will notice a diferance using it over the stock tx , of course the 7 or 8 have more features but i would wait till your into the bigger birds for 1 of those as you wont need a 7th channel till you go nitro for the governor or need retracts for a scale fuselage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soane Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well got a new DX6i from Hobby Corner in Wrexham this afternoon, can't wait to get it home and try it out. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 i dont think you will be disapointed with it just remember when you add fixed pitch heli's to it that you add them as aircraft and not heli ( its only usually collective pitch helis that go in as helli ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soane Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well I had a good old play with the DX6i this afternoon and I have to say it is very cool.

mugen mark Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 full range is allways better,if you can afford it and if there space to fit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlton Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 full range is allways better,if you can afford it and if there space to fit it 400-500 meters (park flyer) is a long way on a 1200mm wingspan plane, i can imagine it just being a spec in the sky. lol. But since there is 1 full range and 2 park flyer ones as part of the package I will use the long range one, untill i get a bigger plane that needs it. I will eventually be building a Guillows rubber powered plane as a leccy conversion that will be tight on space so the park flyer ones will be good for that. I had considered the TX only option posted and get orange RX but the extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
