Surprising news to me, Spektrum will start selling their new line of transmitters by next month as they announced, the new and slickDX10 which will be a benchmark in this category for function, performance and software. This radio has been developed in Germany with very much ease and efficiency of use for the pilot in mind. The Spektrum DX10t is equipped with very powerful and modern software. The programming is simple and intuitive and all the switches can have specific functions allocated to them. For those teaching, or starting out the radio has a trainer system with single channel hand over and teacher override function incorporated.
As for the Spektrum DX8, it features a 30 model memory integrated telemetry, SD/MMC card capability and a backlit LCD screen in addition to many other exciting features that are sure to put it at the top of its class.
Setting it apart from competitors, the radio features a unique telemetry warning screen with selectable tone or vibration alertsto keep the pilot well informed during the flight. The top switch locations and rubber grips have been designed with improved ergonomics in mind and the popular roller/selector is conveniently placed on the right side of the radio for easy navigation of the software.
The DX8 also features a programmable timer to start with the throttle position. Telemetry now provides aeromodelers with a new sense of security via real-time information from their aircraft.
all hobbyists, start saving up because these units will not be cheap. I myself still have the DX6i and very happy with it, but the temptation of owing a DX8 or a DX10 is great.
