So much info out there, I'm thinking I'll hold off for just a bit on a first major purchase, whether a RTF or a ARF or complete build. So, I'm thinking I'll not scrimp on a transmitter, but buy a cheap quad to get used to flying and just learn a bit more about all of the various components. The transmitter I'm thinking of buying is the Spektrum DX8. What I don't want to do, is buy something that I'll quickly either outgrow of find it doesn't really meet my needs. Is this a good transmitter that should serve me well regardless of how much I advance into the hobby? Eventually, I'll want autopilot, GPS, FPV/OSD and camera control with at least 2 axis gimbal. Will this transmitter still be able to handle all this for down the road?
The other transmitter I'd be thinking of would be a Futaba 8J...should I select one over the other? And why?
