Hot off the wire!!
Today at The iHobby Expo in Chicago, Spektrum and Horizon Hobby have again made history with the introduction of The DX-7 Spread Spectrum Transmitter! So what’s the big whoop all about? It’s just one more channel than the DX-6, right? Check it out.. This system takes Spektrum technology out of the realm of park flyers and small electrics, and for the first time ever into larger glow, gas, and even turbine powered models!
This transmitter is the second Spektrum release this year, and one can only assume it won’t be long until we see uber-high end radios with this technology soon. That’s right folks, in just a few more years the pin board will be a thing of the past, along with all of the other issues that frequency controlled has plagued on our growing sport for many years. Field reports of the new system are simply outstanding, our friend and inventor Paul Beard is certainly deserved of an never ending high-five-a-thon!
This is just the beginning folks, and thanks to the continuing technological advancements by great companies like this, our hobby is getting better by the day, and changing before our eyes.
