Which Radio?

[Kilby]

Ok, so I've been using a Spektrum DX6i for a little while now. It's served me well and has been nothing but great for all the helis & tricopters I've had over the last year +. With AP being my main focus these days though, and with a couple of bigger builds on the horizon, I can see now that I'm going to need something a little bit bigger. I'm wondering what you guys are using and why? I have always been a fan of Futaba and was looking in that direction, but I'm open to hear from others why I should or shouldn't go in that direction.

My only requirements would be that it have enough channels to run a hexa as well as having at least one nob on the front so that I could dial in a camera mount to different angles and not be limited to 1 of 2 points in the range.

So, any suggestions?

I think you would like the Jeti 2.4Ghz Duplex system then, its very popular in Europe, so im sure there are outlets in the USA.
They have transmitter modules that could fit in your current radio, which is a good cost saving.
Here is a link about the system, http://www.jetimodel.com/index.php?page=article&id=2
I hope you have a good read.

I Have a Graupner MX22 with jeti box. I got it for the telemetry. Its good but I think a little outdated and not as easy to set up as the Spektrum stuff. I much prefer the feel and adjustability of the DX8.. but I have had issues with that to!..

Hope Rtryder jumps in here coz if its out there he's tried it, or researched it to death and I personally have taken his advice on numerous occasions.
