Steve W-O Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Looks good, looks as if it can almost do as much as the TH9X with ER9X firmware (can't find a running ad hiding smily) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Be interested to see the price - anything sub £2k and its direct competitor for 18MZ - although not quite as nice looking.Interesting also that it doesnt really resemble the DX10T, which is of course a tray model....rumours have been around a few weeks now that the DX18 would looky-likey it.Shame really, as the 10T looks cool - only IMO of courseEdited By Tim Mackey on 01/02/2012 14:13:21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 In case you havent seen the 10T..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Very nice, of course - but I'd run out of fingers and thumbs (and brain function) long before I ran out of channels......... Has anyone in the real world ever actually needed 18 channels - and, more importantly, been able to operate them all without outside assistance?

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 You seem to be developing a fetish for tray type trannys Tim.....first Jeti..now the 10T.... I like the 10 wing type configuration....does this mean we will be able to fly a Fokker Triplane, A Sopwith Triplane, a Tiger Moth & two Spitfires all at the same time....?

I know...I always have liked the styling - but dont use a trayI have trouble enough trying to fly one at time mate. Does sound though as if they have finally built a set that's gonna suit the serious glider pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 If I a) Had the money b) needed a new tx c) wasn't quite so pleased with my 8FG Then I'd be sorely tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom T Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 An up to this.......... as more new transmitters come on the market the others (older versions) will become cheaper :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trex700e Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 YUK!!!! I love the look of the DX8 but they just went the wrong way with this one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's about Spektrum brought out a Mid/top end radio. The DX8 is a bit basic, and no-where near as powerful as the PCMXII by JR. Just ordered a DS6i for my Park Zone models, as my DX8 is full already, and use the DX8 on more models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Now that DX18 looks nice Sorry but I can't learn to love that 10T I think it looks horrible. Is there any more info on the 18? e.g. does it have any finger sliders? Can't see any from the front, that has always been an omission from spekky Tx's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't use Tea Tray transmitters anyway, so wouldn't even think of buying a 10T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Palmer Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Dare I say you could get the new Multiplex Profi Tx that was revealed today? No I thought not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
