i m a spektrum owner, and have bought a cpl of them, never had issues with them. give me a good range and service is top+ recently had antenna cables replaced, they didnt even charge me 1 cent.

i have had dx2 dx 2.0 and 2 x dx 3.0 and all of them were and the 3.0 still is a great remote.

I have an Airtronics M-11 for ground frequencies, and recently I've been looking to upgrade my 4 aircraft radios to one 2.4.
It will definitely be the Spektrum DX-7.

I am a Futaba guy myself. I have a 3PM and a 3PKS, both are 2.4 FASST. But I also have an Airtronics M8 that is 2.4, seems to be pretty good. I am not a fan of Spektrum I have "personally seen" too many bad glitches and failures that have caused the loss of an aircraft or vehicle. I don't get the warn fuzzy felling with them that I do with Futaba or Normadio. I have had top notch customer service with Futaba when I needed a receiver replaced.

i agree with Joey on the glitches and stuff...I've seen it happen to a guy i know in canada with his DX3S....Had a runaway and his RS4 was in pieces....

I am a Futaba guy also. Top notch quality and they will never fail on you.

I'd recommend the 3PM FASST....Very reliable and has so many features to use! Great for the money! Oh and the range you can get with it is insane...lol.

I am also another Futaba guy. However, I jumped on the Spektrum bandwagon well before Futaba came out with the FASST system. If I were in the market now I'd certainly go with the FASST system rather than Spektrum. I havn't had any major issues with my Spektrum stuff but I just have a lot of faith in Futaba products

I have a DX3s and a Futaba 4PK. Both give me great range and trouble free operation. I'm sure the lower models from Futaba give same quality and I have no trouble recommending it.

I have the JR XR3i radio that comes stock with the/my LST2 and I love it !

Yup, that's the one. It is really an amazing radio. On a clear day I can also get HBO and several ShoTime channels.

just picked up a dx3s and i love it great range no problems at all

I have had both the Spektrum DX 3.0 and DX 3s. I would recommend them. The only thing to remember is that when you bind them make sure you have the fail-safe position set on the TX before binding.

I have an MX-3 FHSS 2.4g system from Airtronics and it is an excellent radio. I get farther range than I can see and NEVER have any glitches or problems. The menu nav structure is ridiculously easy to use and it has 18 model memory. It's also priced lower than any other system at $150.

If I ever have to buy a new radio I'll definitely buy the same one again.
