    I'm one of those people that also believes in the 'Buy Once, Cry Once' philosophy. I'm a scale helicopter pilot. I didn't start off trying to fly scale models but that's what my ultimate goal was. With that in mind, I started off with a Spektrum iX12 as my first radio back in 2018. That radio got stolen in 2020. Ended up purchasing a Spektrum iX20 as a replacement since it was the newest release at that time and supposed to be a far superior user experience over the iX12 in terms of functionality, and it certainly is. With THAT said, my time with the iX20 over the past 4 years has been a wonderful experience and I have no need or desire to even consider purchasing another radio.

    I have the Spektrum iX14. I love that radio. But If I had known about the RadioMaster TX16S Mkll MAX Pro Multi-Protocol at the time I would have saved my money and bought that. It can bind to Spektrum, Futaba, XK, FHSS, and pretty much any 2.4ghz system protocol. I saw that the Flite Test Crew uses it. Joshua Bardwell uses it. If those guys trust it I can too. So i ended up buying the Lumenier Edition. It is bada*s. The Gimbals are incredible. The software is amazing. It's not as good as my iX14 IMO but it is worth the money saving IMO. I love that my Ix14 can configure every plane for me. And now with the Ai, it's insane. Perfect for a lazy person. Plus I can play a flight simulator on it and watch YouTube videos. lol. Radios are getting super expensive though., The NX10 is a great choice.
  • I use a spectrum DXe and have for almost 4 years. It Flys my umx planes. I like it. Not too heavy but still fairly rugged
  • Great video great video and VERY honest and that's how I feel as a spectrum owner and R/C flyer.Thank You
  • @joebo9378
    I used to use a DXE. Finally jumped to a NX10 and it was worth the $550.
  • @sendit_rc
    I've been using a ix12 for my first 3 years.tomorrow I'm getting a IX20 😊
  • @petewatts30
    NX8 with update now has 20 channels, NX8+ is NX8 with the update pre installed.
  • Great video and everything you said is right.For me my old DX8 works great flying my horizon hobbies V900,just as an example.
  • Spektrum livery kinda goes hard on the Supra tho 😂🤔 Congrats on the upgrade!

    I started with a DX6 and after a few years went to a DX9. Ended up damaging the DX9 while searching for a lost plane in a very wet forest. Got the NX10 and I'm delighted with it: it actually seems to work a little better than the DX9 (better gimbals?). Moving all 40 planes from the 9 was a piece of cake. I like having the 10 channels and don't see where I'll need anymore given my aircraft selection and style of flying (mostly scale stuff). Good Vid

    The cost is killing me bought a RadioMaster boxer 4in 1 with a Elrs Modul that has crazy fast latency and goes' for miles. I was able to bind it to my E-Flite UMX P-51D VooDoo and just had to set up the switches. Just wish they had a rx with integrated gyro. Congratulations on your channel its great.
  • @notG1O
    Great content as usual! I went with the first gen tx16s with the 4-1 when i got in the hobby. Was like 150 cad at the time, and then added a elrs module, never going back to closed source. The price difference kills it for me, but its 100% the easier solution. As most things you trade savings for complexity
  • @Hangar14RC
    Some good info here! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it a lot more compared to that DX6e
  • @simons6208
    Yep I bought used DXE 8 and its not even binding to my umx collection... So I have to unregister then register and update it ???
  • @slange455
    Neither get Frsky or Radio Master tx16 however I would recommend the nx10 if you are flying Spektrum receivers
  • @aa7jc
    I like the Spektrum stuff (I have a DXE and a DX8E) but, I also have a couple of Taranis radios. I am very comfortable with the complexity of what OpenTX brought to the table.. I really like the computer element where I can simulate the radio on the computer and then just sync the computer over to the radio. In the price range for the Spektrum DX10 I would almost certainly give careful consideration to the FrSky X20 series of radios. I have heard good things about their ETHOS plus their 900 MHz / 2.4 GHz dual band redundancy..
  • I tought i would go with the Middle class. The NX8 but later along the line i wished i bought the nx10 because the more you fly and learn the more setups are possible in mixes.
