Spektrum DX8

This looks interesting. I wonder when it'll be released over here. Translated from Horizon's German website:

What's inside:

• Spectrum DX8 Channel
• Spektrum 8 Channel Receiver
• Spectrum telemetry transmitters
• SensorsDescription:

The DX8 is a better range of hand-held transmitter for the aspiring model pilots. The investment follows a modern design with an impressive ergonomics. All controls are within comfortable reach, even if you have smaller hands. Course DX8 is the spectrum with the unique DSM2 transmission system facilities. It offers a fast and secure link to the model. Of course, this also includes remote control system in the range of equipment used to make Bind and Fly fly models of Horizon. The facility is equipped with telemetry. This permits real-time monitoring of flight log data and the power supply and data from other external sensors. The facility has a modern and very ergonomic software that is fast and intuitive. Extensive functions for area pilots, as well as for helicopter pilots from the software feature. Internally, the system stops at 30 model memories. The built-in SD card reader, however, allows an approximate unlimited number of model memories. In addition, software updates can be easily performed. The spectrum DX8 is supplied with 4 languages. It can be set to 3 service areas - EU, France and U.S.. Furthermore, the investment in Mode 1 can be flown to 4.

Electronic Maximalwegbegrenzung ?

First time I've seen swash phasing in the radio.

Sounds like a pretty cool system. I bet they practically give it away

Eric Lewis · 02-06-2010, 12:52 AM

the telemetry would be pretty cool

MikeB · 02-06-2010, 09:31 AM

Actually I think the higher end Futaba's have had the phasing for a while.
