Chris have used the NX7 a few times. My only issues are no voice and you have to buy extra components to use it as a buddy box. Have fun with the NX7. It’s not a bad transmitter for the $$$. Jeff in LA USA

I was surprised it did not have a voice, cannot see that would bump the price much. Well I recon I can make the sticks shorter to counter the fat body of the radio, if I like the radio and safe, then I can look at a better one. Have a great day Jeff, happy flying 🫡

We had a nice morning Chris but then we're a bit further south west than you guys, interesting radio but you're right, that is thick, I've never had the urge for telemetry or safe but then I've got lots of crashes under my belt! Cheers mate 👍😁

Nice video, nice looking radio... My radio journey has been a long one too, starting with Futuba, FRSKY, DJI RC1 & RC2, TBS Mambo, and now Radiomaster... The TBS Mambo is my favourite radio of all of them and probably the cheapest too... I do have a Spektrum radio for my helicopters but is a fairly old one... Its so hard to find the perfect radio...

I think you hit the nail on the head David, you need to find that radio that becomes an extension of you. I can shorten the sticks to make the radio more comfortable to hold, so I guess as soon as the weather breaks we can have a test. Maybe we can text at PH’s 😁. Have a great Sunday buddy.

Yup agree with you, of course it’s better to fly without any restrictions, but until you get many hours under your belt and get used to the aircraft, then safe is a great idea. Like you say, sometimes the aircraft and all the bits are more money than the transmitter. I will put shorter screw things on the sticks, this will counter the fat body. If I like the radio and safe, then I will look for a better version. Nothing wrong with a bit of dirty 😎. Weather looking better now, so I hoping to fly soon. Have a great day 🫡

When you download the the new firmware there are two options, make sure to grab the "plus" one. I just did it this morning and it's working fine. I think the 10 and 14 both go up to 20 channels now too. It's pretty exciting tbo. My guess the other cheaper radio with many channels are finally putting some financial squeeze on spectrum so now they are playing a little catch up. Though. It's a tad disappointing that these radios probably all share hardware and could all be 20ch if they unlocked them... And they totally could have a decade ago... But, hey, competition actually seems to have done some good here so huzzah.

Yea I agree, it’s like everything, it’s all the same, just one line of code to change the firmware as to say. I think Radio master has a lot to do with the pricing, saying that I brought a FRSky Pro Wing, that was a pretty penny. I will give the update ago Sunday, might try and do a short for it 😀.

Wow going from a FrSky X20s to that! Surely that’s a backwards step? Be interested to see what you think when you fly with it. Good luck anyway. Also you can just use an FrSky SRx receiver, it’s the same as Safe no?

The trouble is, I can never set up the FRSky SR properly, even the FMS reflex I have issues with. I wanted a relative cheap Spektrum to test Safe. I guess we see where I will go after the first use. I have figured out that if I use shorter stick ends, it feels more natural to hold. I do love ETHOS on the FrSky radios and gained confidence using the X20s, but I need to explore. Have a great day and week ahead. 🫡

I flew DSM-X with my JR X9503 for years when everyone was switching over to Spektrum. Everyone over here across the pond flies Spektrum. If you fly Futaba or FrSky then your a bit of a black sheep. I keep the RadioMaster TX16S for binding to E-Flight planes. That NX7e is a sexy transmitter for sure. Spektrum products are very user friendly and they have cornered the market on user-ability. But I'm hooked on my Futaba 18MZ and my X20S FrSky. Congrats on your new transmitter Pops! Maybe if it was orange 🤔

I have flown with Futaba and Spektrum and have got to say Spektrum transmitters are far more user friendly and I love being able to set SAFE and AS3X up with forward programming from the radio!! So convenient, one thing I will say though is make sure you keep the lipo balance lead away from the receiver antennas!! And keep it away from the antenaless receivers as well, You have been warned Lol Any range test failings I've had have always been to do with that pesky balance lead. Your radio looks very nice, lots of lovely 3 position switches, but no voice!! That's scandalous, I think that's a mistake by Spektrum, especially if it's aimed at intermediate pilots, the call out for switches, and timer countdown are 2 things I've come to rely on!! Hope you get used to the feel of it and it does the job for you Chris 😀👍

Yup I think they messed up with no Audio voice, knowing spektrum it will be an add on 😂. Thank you Ian for the info about the antennas, I will be sure to make sure they are away from the balance lead. I do need to shorten the sticks as the body does feel thick, I not sure if this is the same for all the Spektrum radios. All I need now is the planets to align and give me some good dry flying weather. Hope you both are well and moving on in life 🙏🏻. Have a great day and week ahead to you both. 🫡

I'm ignorant on the topic. It says 7 channels, if each stick is 2 channels, what are the 8 or so other switches an knobs at the top? I see more than 7 channels worth of switches. Been googling like crazy, haven't found a clear explanation yet.

Hi, each knob. An be used for program, to start or reset a timer. To change flight modes etc. it means the radio can control 7 channels in an aircraft. I hope this has helped.

​@@DadsRCHangarI guess I'm confused as to how it's limited to 7 channels when they're is way more controls. What prevents me from programming one of the extra switches to control another servo on the plane if I had like a 8 channel receiver? Are some switches dedicated to tx functions only? (Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand the hobby better before investing in an expensive tx)
