6EXA is a purely PPM (FM) tx...not PCM capable.
It's a good 'basic-advanced' computer TX....pretty flexible, but bear in mind that it's a purely airplane TX.

if u want to go micro helis, at most u can fly FP helis with onboard mixing for the tail setup. Helis with mechanical mixing can be used to some extend & can be worked around, but you'll have some limitations.

i've got more questions...is PPM or PCM better?

Pros and cons lar....in the most layman terms, FM = Cheap... PCM = Expensive...

when a major glitch happens, most likely u'll crash no matter what failsafe u have...

So far a lot of people have been using FM without any problems...for large heli flyers, somehow most are using PCM rx. Micro heli flyers should be using FM coz most FM rx are smaller.
