I apologize for posting this thread here. My question is more "generalized" but there is no specific place for "generalized transmitter" questions.
Currently, I have a DX6i and despite my recent troubles with the scroll wheel, it's been an awesome radio. Very user friendly.
I have a Trex 500e Super Pro with flybar and I have several scratch built airplanes and even an upcoming planned project of a scratch built Gyro-Copter. I'm going to be wanting a transmitter with at least 8 channels this year. I want to be able to have flaps and retracts on my planes as well as bomb droppers and I'm planning on getting a DFC head for my 500 along with the AR7200bx. I'm also planning on getting a FLB 600 heli (I hope).
With all of that being said, I do have to say that I can see the scroll wheel on my DX6i being a "trouble issue" that I just don't want to continually deal with. I have enough troubles with my own personal confidence so you can imagine that I don't want to be constantly messing around with that scroll wheel. For a while now, I've been thinking about the DX8 (since all my Rx's are Spektrum, anyway) but there again we have that scroll wheel.
Can you suggest another transmitter, with at least 8 channels, that I should be looking at? I know there are many out there but I could really use some suggestions. I'd really like to stay under $500.
