Spektrum DX18 Remote First Look

We took a look at the brand new spektrum dx18 while at efest this year, it's not super in depth but just looking at this thing with 18 receivers and servos all hooked up is an amazing sight

From Spektrum Website

To truly fly like a pro takes skill and the right tools. If you have the skill, the DX18 has the pro-class tools you need.

Extensive programming for airplanes and helicopters
The most impressive suite of sailplane programming features available in a hand-held transmitter
Up to 18 available channels
Servo balancing and sequencing
Built-In Telemetry with data log
And you get it all in one of the most ergono

The extra 10 channels are used more for mixing complicated sequencing rather than independent operations. Very cool none the less.

Hahaha, love the disappointment about no retail store at the end. I live in Champaign... we have Horizon AND Hobbico here, yet we have only one hobby store, and they aren't the best. :/ No indoor tracks or flight areas either. :(

I don't know much about rc flight, but why on earth would you need that many channels? What would be an example?

[thenerfergeek]

if i was their i would do the highest pitch of y voice and yell " look at all these switches!!!!"

[MultiSniper]

futuba 18mhz looks complicated to set up i am sticking to a spectrum
because i heard people had no faults on these radios so i think people are abuseing them smashing them around

[nerdyrcdriver]

It COULD, but why would you? Msrp is $1200 but sells for $800.

[chuckyk]

so.... your 5 basic flight controls, flaps, lights. air breaks, bomb doors X 10 ? Insane ! but cool !

Lose the chewing gum and look at the person who is talking and showing interest on your product. Then maybe we will consider purchasing your products. What a bad salesperson...
