Hi Cappy
Further to my earlier PM on the DX6i, I'm using an Orange Rx from Hobby King. I use them on all my models (EDFs, warbirds and gliders) and never had a glitch or range issue (so far). I'm about to add a satellite receiver for added insurance at longer ranges during FPV flights and Im intending to do some real (non flying) ground to air range checks with it over the next week or so to confirm just what range I can rely on with it.

thanks for your help i appreciate it...got a little nervous when i saw members having problems with naza assistance...i was thinking about getting either the spektrum ar7010 or ar8000...i will check out hobby king...thanks again...
There are several people that are very happy with the Orange Rx. I bought one and tried to set it up on my WKM and my Naza. I was not successful with either controller. While expensive, I am a fan of the AR8000. I have it on my WKM and my Trex 550 with DJI WKH. I am trying an R921 on my DJI F550 Hexa. I am reserving judgement right now. I may put one of my AR6115's on. With the Naza a 6ch receiver will give you everything you want with the exception of the ability to adjust the gains from your receiver and to control the tilt on a camera gimbal. If you have a AR6xxx I would try it before you went out and bought something else.
All i have is the DX6i...i started in the hobby about a year ago with simple co axial heli's in the blade line up and moved up to a mcpx..then i got the MQX and really liked it...I am seeing a couple of AR800's on ebay, i think i will bid as the f450 will probably arrive tomorrow....thanks guys.....i am certain once it arrives i will have more questions
I just wanted to check with the group. I too am a beginner and am just starting to build my DJI F450 Naza and wondered if the DX6i Transmitter and the Spektrum Ar600 6-Channel Sport DSMX Receiver will work for my rig. I ordered the two on amazon and don't want to risk running them if there is any issues with the failsafe etc. Any words of wisdom?
Im running mine right now with a dx6i and ar600, works great. I've also run it with the orangeRX. Using just acro mode no changes except for end points for the mode switch. Tried negative expo on rudder to try and speed up piro's but no difference that I could see. Fingers crossed my 11x will be here tomorrow lol
Any system is only as good as it's weakest link. If you are flying just a F450 with no other gear I'd trust the orangeRx. I plan on flying with a GoPro Hero 2, FPV Gear, $10/each graupner props, and a $500 gimbal.... I will only fly with TRUSTED name brand tx/rx with proven failsafe systems. Honestly the orange receivers are an amazing deal, I just couldn't live with myself if $2,000 flew away because of a brown out and it's happened to people before. Someone over at RCG talking about a total loss fly away with their Turnigy 9X and while that's an AMAZING deal for a pretty functional transmitter, it doesn't have the same Quality/quality control as the bigger names. I decided to pony up for a Futaba 8FGS and love it. It doesn't guarantee no fly aways but it gives me good piece of mind.
