Hi Folks,
I spent over 10 years flying and enjoying various RC planes and cars, but have been away from it for many years and now getting back into RC. I bought an E-flight Apprentice STS 1.5m to get started and get comfortable. I also got an E-flight P-51D Mustang 1.5m to transition to from the trainer. I am using Spektrum DX8 G2 for these 2 planes.
I just received my Freewing F-14 EDF, unpacked it and wow, what a beauty! I am trying to get the right radio system for the F-14. My goal was to follow RC Geek’s radio setup which requires 9 Channels. I got a Spektrum Ix12 but I have seen mixed reviews on various website for Ix12. I am now thinking to return Ix12 and either go with another DX8 G2, use 7-Ch as per FreeWing’s instructions and use a gyro to help with flight stabilization or get a DX9. If at all possible, I prefer to stay with Spektrum brand for buddy box reasons.
I appreciate any input you guys have on radio selection for F-14.
