alernatives to 9X for DIY frsky ??

Postby S-rob » Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:49 am

Hi there.
Just considering some options while I wait for parts.....
Any recommended alternatives to the 9X for the DIY FRsky hack.
Something with more than 8 model memories, and a reasonable price
eg maybe a used DX7 ?? or some other used TX ?

How much use can a used tx have before it starts getting worn/sloppy controls ?? how old is too old ??
Will a used tx have nicer feel to the controls than a new 9X??

I have a new 9X waiting for mod, & a Frsky DIY on the (very) slow boat to NZ. Im just considering other options before I start 'hacking'
Im using a DX6i at the mo, the 9x doesnt feel as nice (to me). Maybe just because Im used to fell of the Spektrum ??
Cheers

To be honest,I have both 9x and Futaba tx's,and I don't notice any difference at all while I'm flying.I do have Frsky conversions in all my tx's(5),Mainly because I prefer the small size of the Frsky rx's.
I have witnessed too many problems with Spektrum to ever consider them.I have never been a JR fan,so a used Futaba would be my choice.My 7UAP must be at least 15 years old,yet still performs well.Mind you,I got it from a mate,so I knew the history of it.
Since the wholesale move to 2.4ghz,35 and 40 mhz tx's can be had for relatively bargain money.
Btw.,I have a spare Frsky plug-in module for Futaba if you need one.
