That 8th channel could come in handy. DX8 has backlit display.
I prefer the futaba 8fg super, but if I had to choose between the two you mentioned, I'd go DX8.

If you also want to fly single rotor helis, DX8 is not a bad choice since on many FBL Systems you only have to hook 2 satellites to the stabi and get away without the need for an dedicated receiver:

BTW....something like the Thundertiger GT5 I would wish to be avalible as FlightControl for Multirotors....

Don't discount a Futaba 9C with spektrum module in your search as it works great with the naza/wookong. Mine is controlling a wookong with gimble and camera tilt, switching the radio off activates failsafe return as long as you set it up which is peasy.
The cost! I paid £150 s.h. and it came with nice tx case and the nice radio stand fastened to the back. For that you get 8 channels, a quality radio and head tracker compatible should you ever want to go that route

i am, love it. Was gonna mention if you ever wanted to add a LRS systems, stay the heck away from all that spektrum stuff. it'll drive ya nutts till ya sell it and get the futaba
It also fires up sbus with a naza, single wire connection and has twice the range the spektrum does out of the box. Just follow the directions on how to layout the antennas
this was a flight with it on 2.4
easy couple thousand feet but a super tight link, not one glitch

Have a look here about different "modes": http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/rc-transmitter-modes.html
Mode 1 is mostly used in Europe and Mode 2 is used a lot in Amerika....Mode3 + Mode 4 are rather exotic. If you fly a few other crafts with that Remote, I would choose a Mode which is mostly used in the area you are living.
The Spektrum is very handy in some regards, but as cloner said: nothing beats a Futaba in performance and reliability....I personally got the Futaba FX-40 and would not change it for anything....full stop.
....but still feel symphaty for the Spektrum Satellit dingi for the use in Single Rotor Helis.

Doing my research
Kloner this maybe a dumb question but I am still learning about all the different ins and outs of the multirotor world. I was curious if you bought the heli or air model and what reciever would you use for the Futaba 8J I am looking at an F550 with naza setup, using all DJI stuff.
