Oh, since this thread is about radios, and before the Spektrum folk descend on me, the endless binding problems is due to the tits on a bull DX4e and not Spektrum technology !!

I should sus out the Jr systems, but I think I've decided on joining the bear army n getting the futaba. I should be able to grow nicely with that system

I can get the Futaba about the same cost as the DX8, but with the extra channels, which i'm going to want down the track.
I'm also interested in flying helicopters, more for photography work with husky racing, and with Dave's expertise in that area could be handy.
Still want to actually touch and feel the radios before buying one.
Yes I'm leaning towards the Futaba but it's not set in stone yet.

I have been doing my research on the JR radios today. they are nice radios, and could see the benefits of one of those, especially since they are backward compatible with Spektrum rx and tx.
I think now it will come down to which one feels nicer between the jr and the futaba and naturally the cost.
I guess I have a couple of future plans that would require more than 8 channels.
I am actually looking at making a couple of warbirds, and with the corsair I would like to be able to do something with retracts, folding wings, possible bomb drops and then either a smoke pod or ejecting canopy, mainly for no other reason than I can.
Which will take me well over the 8ch.
I also want to have a look at some of the helicopter set ups with videos for husky racing.
I want to be able to come up with a camera and helo set up that will allow my to get some awesome footage of the racing. I've found a few that have servos to control the camera needing a few extra channels. Hence my reason why I want a few more than most
