RC India - Flying and racing with open minds !

Came across this interesting thread :

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9985079/tm.htm

And post #20 has the following listing :

Quote
If I were starting over today and I were shopping for a new radio below the $350 price range, I'd choose a new radio in the following order:

1st Choice - Airtronics SD-6G (amazing quality and value)
2nd Choice - Airtronics RDS8000 (also amazing quality and value, but with less flexibility)
3rd Choice - Hitec Optic 6 (non-Sport) 2.4Ghz (great ergonomics and high value, backward 72Mhz capable)
4th Choice - Futaba 7C FASST (a good, solid 6-channel radio marketed as a 7-channel, albeit with expensive extra receivers)
5th Choice - Hitec Optic Sport 2.4Ghz (less flexible, not backward compatible with 72Mhz, but a good solid radio with good ergonomics)
6th Choice - Ace Hobby Sky Tech TS6i (rebranded Hitech Optic 6, sold for $167 with two 6-channel full range receivers making it an obscure choice but a really amazing value)
7th Choice - Futaba 6EX FAAST (limited feature set, non-intuitive programming, but a solid and reliable radio system)
8th Choice - Spektrum DX7 (a high quality transmitter for a second tier radio technology, transmitter has stupid trainer switch design and no throttle kill button)
9th Choice - Spektrum DX6i (a low quality transmitter for a second tier radio technology, it is easy to program and user friendly)

These are, of course, only my opinions.

Thought that this list is interesting to share.  And I keep wondering why the Airtronics SD-6G is not yet released in India ?

Spektrum DX8, Futaba 8FG are all a higher class (price wise).

Futaba 7ch had only 6 proportional channels plus 1 switched channel in earlier versions, it seems.  But the newer ones (especially 2.4Ghz ones) have all 7 channels fully proportional.

ROFL!! Kickass!! Now JR ditching DSM2 hints that there was pressing need for 3rd Sat receiver , instead they chose Frequency Hopping. Good to see less of those Bandwidth hoggers (Spread SpeKtrum)
