Re: Buying a TX

Tx has arrived. What the heck did I get myself into. I need to go back to school to figure out how to set this thing up.

Re: Buying a TX

Of course now all the good used ones will come flying out of the closets and come down in price. Guranteed. Never fails me. I already had one PM this morning. Good price also. I will keep that one on hold just for now. Might get stupid and get addicted to this hobby or something.

Guess the first thing I need to make is a bracket for the neck strap. Shouldn't take much on the milling machine. Just need the TX in hand to see what I need.

Re: Buying a TX

Managed to pick up a good used DX7 to do me till they get the DX8 problems sorted out. It sits on the shelf. They still show the DX7 on the Spektrum website.

Yes, the DX7 is being phased out. It's one of the older radio's in Spektrum's lineup.

The most obvious clue is the lack a DSMX version. Meanwhile both the DX5e and DX6i were released in DSMX versions a few weeks ago. My LHS has been unable to get any DX7's for weeks now and there's no word if/when they will be in stock. Horizon Hobby's website has no ETA, normally they have some sort of ETA listed for out of stock products.

The DX7 is still a fine radio and seems to have served many pilots quite well. Spektrum/Horizon Hobby will still support them (repairs, etc) and they can also be upgraded to DSMX (except for the DX7SE) for $75. If you can find one at a good price, it's still a good investment.

Re: Buying a TX

I am all set to buy a DX7. SNhobbies has them listed for $200 plus free shipping but like everyone else none in stock. Is the DX7 being phased out . I don't think I will have more then 20 planes/helicopters. I was just looking for that extra ch for done the road use.

If you fly both plane and heli which TX is better to get. The heli or air model . I had a done deal on a DSX7 with RX for $225 but it turned out to be the Japan version and $90 for each RX. Way to rich for me. As for the Jr stuff I don't know what there model numbers are that compare to the spektrum stuff.

Almost had a DX7 last night, waiting for the guy to respond with his paypal addy and the next response I got from him was I decided not to ship and just sold it locally 5 minutes ago. At least he told me but still pissed me off that people do that.

To me getting his paypal address and agreeing to send money is like a hand shake in person and a done deal. I guess a true done deal is when the item is in your hands.
