Very light (runs on 4-AA's), and the combination scroll/push button make it extremely easy to use. 30 model memory, and it does everything that the Helios/Z-1/M11 will do, and weighs about 1/44th the weight of a stock M11 w/AA's. yes, that is an exaggeration, but this thing is crazy light. Switching from left to right handed is super easy as well.

There will also be a video review coming in the near future (Just after the 1st of the year or so), so be sure to keep an eye out. I've been using one since about June and really like it. When I went from the original series modules to the Pro Series I thought I could feel a difference most of the time... With the DX3R I know I feel a difference. It's super light like Lars said (Lars, yer the man lol ), it's really efficient, the roller dial makes programming a snap...just all in all a good radio. And not saying that the DX2 or DX3 are bad radios, but the DX3R is a better radio... because its designed to be. The DX2 and DX3 are both geared towards a sport-level driver, where the DX3R is designed for more advanced drivers. If you're looking for something to bash with, the DX2.0 and DX3.0 may actually be a better value for you. But if you're considering a Pro-Level radio then the DX3R should be on the top of your list.

so it's battery compartment is like a Mini-Z chassis?
With those springs and lips that connect to the cells?
are digital servo's required to operate?

You can use any servo with the DX3R. The only difference is the usable frame-rates. Analog servos cannot use the 5.5ms setting, that is for digitals only.

Right, but as everyone want to know how about the production line, or else it will delay little further again. In the case will be almost a year from announce day, then i have preorder it long time ago.
Could anyone from Horizon/Spektrum tell us what are really happening?
