Yes the 6ex fit my needs . I realise now the sprectrum 5e wouldnt cut it at all. It's not the chanels I need. I want saved sub trim on each model and at least 6 models. I am not even sure what mode I want to use and the futaba does all of them. Can I assume that all the futaba's will work on the ground? I think it might even be worth saving for a radio in the range of the spectrum 7 se because of the fast speeds it can work at. I am sure speed is everthing with steering on the ground.

I have come about the idea because I have a disabled right arm. I have a fused right thumb and very few mussles that open my fingers up on my right hand. I am having trouble with wheel radios so I thought stick will be easyier. I dont really know what side I will do best with but most likely it will be steering left which is also opersite to ground stick radios. I tryed the 5e and realised I will be moving them not quite horizontally but across the range at a angle if you picture this. Thus the need for more then 2 axis. I am sure the better radio I can afford to buy the better I can utilise it with the limited use I have phisically. For eg rate adjustments the more flexibility with that the better. As the old saying goes Buy cheap buy twice or somthing to that effect. I was so exited when I tryed it at the shop I neally bought it on the spot. I am glad I didnt now. I would of out grown it too fast. I sure it going to be a massive step foward for me so I guess it's like a able person discovering they have a third arm lol
