Spektrum DX18 next to a DX8 A Sneek Peek

Had the chance to have a play around with a DX18 the other day, so thought i'd share the sneak peek i had. I also have it next to my DX8 for a little comparison.
It is a little bigger than the DX8 and the gimbals are even smoother, switchs seem good and easy to get to, yes a real solid feel in your hand. Well worth a look if your after a radio that can do "Everything!" I set it up to fly the Hawker Hurricane, but unlucky for me it was a mode 1 and i'm a mode 2 flyer so i never got to fly a plane with it, still it's a very nice radio thats for sure

Cool Chuck! Nice to see another Mode 2 Aussie!

Cool! Love to see it. But how you get the demo and get the carbon cub SS so before it comes out?!?!

Hey chuck, I would never advocate a step back in technology but rather a step up in design . The big guys may have invested in tech but by the looks of things certainly not in design .

Needs a large colour touch screen or make it cheaper than a dx8. Also cant you change the mode in the settings on spektrums.

Looks like the same radio, it may be time to update the plastic box .. Still reminds me of the dx6i.

Where you get it in black color? Is it still available in black?
