Finally got a decent radio

I have started tiny whooping a few weeks ago and because this was my first contact with flying quads I bought the rtf version of inductrix. Today I got a normal TX - the Spektrum Dx6.

I wish I had it earlier... The stock radio just led to frustration and made the learning much harder. I mean sure I was able to control the whoop more or less, but the precision of the dx6 compared to the stock radio is just a day to night difference! Everything is just so smooth and direct. Love it!

Still this isn't a TW - I'm flying LOS because I'm waiting for my fpv gear from China.

Additionally I have to admit that there is not a single part from the original inductrix:

  • Frame broke on the second day - fixed it and got a few e010 frames as replacement.
  • Got faster motors from mmw
  • Triblade props and e010 props that came with the frames
  • Mylipo batteries to have some flight time
  • beebrain instead of the stock FC.

So... I've spend a lot on the Inductrix rtf, then build everything from scratch and now got a new radio as well to finally get some fun out of it. At the end of the day I could have saved some money by skipping the first step and would still have the same build.

TL;DR Imho if you're starting, get a good radio instead of a rtf version or even better build everything from scratch.
