Recommend 6-channel radio?

[Coolio]

Hi Guys,

I am looking at buying a 8-channel radio for my airplane. Any recommendations? Futaba/JR?

Heard that Singapore Hobbies Supplies just started a storewide 10% sale for a month. Anyone been there?

Hmm I don't use Futaba, RX is $XXXXXXX, I use Aurora9, Combo set 3 RX only $150 to $175, still got discount .Easy To Use, I very happy with it

Thanks for recommending. I think I only need 6-channel radio.

How about Spektrum DX6 then ? Should be pretty affordable by now . I myself is using DX7 though .

Futaba T6J

The Futaba T6J is pretty good at only $200 a pop. Extra receivers cost about $70..

Or the Futaba 6EX if u have more money. Personally, the T6J looks much better and I don't see a difference between the 2 except the 6EX is on FAAST system. Saw pictures of the soon to launch 8J so it gives even more reason to be on the S-FHSS platform.

Just my 2 cents

Aurora 9!!!

Yes the Futaba 6J looks tempting to me. I think it has a S-FHSS receiver included.

Yes, receiver included

Now with their 10% storewide discount, it's just over $180. Woohoo... MTL.

i bought one, very happy with it.
it is a no nonsense design. Display are big to read. Not like others to show the brand Futaba, Airtronics...etc and a big icon of heli/plane/glider, then left with small area to display the time.
