I have been using a DX7 almost since it was announced. No problems at all. Recently I replaced a power system that had done about 70 hrs in the air with only few new bearings and a new shaft but basically the setup owed me nothing. I replaced it with an eMax 2810 (5mm shaft) and a 40/50A eMax ESC with a UBEC (switched) and have started to have problems. My old DX7 also owes me nothing so I thought a new radio might be a good start. I have a heap of 6 channel Orange receivers (2 with slaves), an AR6100e, and an AR7000 (with slave).
The big question now, which radio ? I'm basically a fixed wing sport/park flyer. 7-9 channels are fine, $s are not much of an issue for the TX but 8-10 RXs would break the bank if I went DSM2 or DMSS exclusively. Get the picture ?
So feel free to jump in and tell me which way to go, currently I favoring JR (like 9503 or something). SD card is almost a prerequ. I value a quality build and I hate to crash if my thumbs are not at fault.
OK, go for it, let hear the good oil !!!
