I'd put some little baggies in your box as a gag, but I'd hate for someone else to see you open it and get the wrong idea

ha! yea and maybe some lil "rocks" of styrofoam.

While I agree with the gist of your post I would like to add some options you did not discuss. Before I went with an 8FG I had a 7C and I flew it all the way to my 87" DA-60 3DHS Extra. The "Y" harness is simply not the way to do it and should never be suggested. I used a Smart-Fly Equalizer II and it worked perfectly for balancing and reversing your dual elevator servos. As for the no throttle curve you are right but expo worked out to a satisfactory solution for me. The DA-60 was providing to much power in the low end making hovering difficult. I played around with a tach and the expo on the ground and got it darn close to my liking.

With this said I would not recommend the 7C over the 8FG if you are buying but if you have the 7C with little extra effort you can set it up for a 50.

Full agree with you... Just figured that 7c had its limitation without spending any more money...

Well hmmm... I can get a 7C with a receiver for $205 shipped, new, or the 8FG for $250, shipped, used, without an RX. But I don't really think I need the features of the 8FG

That should make your decision easy...

Hmmm I'm still not sure what to do. 8FG is too expensive... I'm deciding between the 7C or one of the 8J/6J ones. I'm also starting back into DLG so I'll need some basic programming for those (expo and dual rates ), but other than that I don't even think I'll need 7 or 8 channels in the future.

Meh, I'll make a decision soon based on the cash that comes into PayPal

Let me ask you the super obvious question: Have you talked about your link problems to Spektrum support? I've heard they're pretty good! It doesn't hurt to try at least...

Honestly I just want to try Futaba LOL... the link issues just pushed me over the edge, honestly. But link issues are link issues... I made a mistake buying the DX6i and should've waited until I had the cash to get what I really wanted.

Wow, today is my lucky day. Got $195 from the DX6i and both a 8FG Super and a 7C popped up in the classifieds on the other forum, for pretty good prices!. Hopefully I'll get one of the two, but I'm going for the 8FG first!

So glad to hear, you will love the 8FG and peace of mind.

I'm hoping to get it with an RX (brand new, the guy bought it for Christmas) for $350 shipped. The 7C is $270 shipped and comes with 5 RXs though...

And yes the peace of mind will be great
