I dont like spektrum products much anymore... all the people in our group have thrown them away... They either fall apart or their signal range is absolute rubbish.... If i was wanting to spend some money i would go with Futaba...
But shockingly... yes they may not have many features, but i dont need features... BUT THE RANGE is unbelieveable on these hobby king TXs!!!
Here is a 6channel one going for the same price of $22!!! It outperformed all the high end spectrums and some futabas (not 3pm) in range testing!!!

Arctic - i guess if i got the 6ch HK TX then i would use the flap/gear switches for the fans.....
BUT remember im not using a car ESC... im using the plane ESC (PHOENIX ICE HV 160Amp)
i would use the left stick for accelerate and brake (no reverse with ice esc) and the right stick for turning only.
I would need to somehow have the left stick return to its central position but the right stick on all heli controllers centralise anyway.
i have a 4 ch cheapo TX i am going to open up and see how they work regarding return springs etc...
As i am wanting to use an air TX as paralyzed_ said, i wont need a pistex at all
