Spektrum keep developing new stuff, and it is good. And it is most suitable to those of us in radio yachting as well.
I already have 3 full Spektrum DX7 systems, but some of the developments below would seem to provide me with so much more flexibility for both my current and future projects.
I'm not sure how well this will work. I have simply copied an email to me here. Hope it works. Maverick.
DX6i 6-Channel Full Range Radio Without Servos MD2
The 6-channel DX6i uses the same full-range DSM2 technology found in the Spektrum DX7 and includes an impressive list of programming features for both airplanes and helicopters that are simple to access and use. It comes with the new AR6200 DSM2 6-channel receiver that is robust enough to use in large models yet compact enough to fit in many parkflyers. The DX6i is also compatible with all existing Spektrum aircraft receivers. Whatever kind of flying you do, the DX6i can be adapted to most any model in your existing collection that requires 6-channels or less.
The AR9100 is designed for models using multiple servos that draw excess current or multiple high-torque servos, such as giant-scale airplanes and jet models. It features a robust power bus designed to manage high-current loads, as well as dual 16AWG battery input leads with EC3 connectors for use with larger battery packs. This makes it possible to support high-current systems straight through the AR9100 without the need for a separate power system. As an added measure of safety, Spektrum designed the AR9100 with a soft switch. Servo current is routed around the switch so, should it fail for any reason, power to the system will not be interrupted.
Spektrums Digital Servo Programmer offers the ultimate combination of precision and customization for digital micro servo users. Features like 3-point programming, high-speed input and three servo modes make the Digital Servo Programmer perfect for parkflyers, micro heli pilots and indoor foamie pilots. The DSP allows users to program their servos for optimum operation in whatever function they need, and the customization potential offered by the Digital Servo Programmer lets micro servo users experience the precision and smooth response offered by larger servos and aircraft without sacrificing performance.
6.0-Gram Super Sub-Micro Digital Programmable Servo
The DSP60 offers superior speed, torque and precision for this class, and includes complete mounting hardware and an assortment of servo arms. You can optimize its performance for specific applications like airplanes, helicopters and tail rotors, by adjusting the end points, gain and even direction using the Digital Servo Programmer (SPMDSPsold separately). The DSP60 is ideal for smaller electric models like 3D profile foamies and micro-helis.
7.5-Gram Super Sub-Micro Digital Programmable Servo
The DSP75 offers superior speed, torque and precision for its class, and includes complete mounting hardware and an assortment of servo arms. You can optimize its performance for specific applications like airplanes, helicopters and tail rotors by adjusting the end points, gain and even direction using the Digital Servo Programmer (SPMDSPsold separately). The DSP75 is a great choice for parkflyers as well as mini- and micro-helis.
The VR5203 provides regulated voltage protection for up to two servo functions with two input ports and two output ports. This unique component eliminates the danger of higher voltage power systems to standard voltage servos by being placed in between the receiver and the servo needing regulation. This allows the rest of the system to work at a desired voltage.
Designed to be the ideal battery pack for use with Spektrums AR9100 receiver, and built to fit easily into nearly any fuselage, the 6.0V, 5-cell receiver packs from Spektrum offer high capacity Sanyo cells, an installed EC3 lead for quick and easy usage, and a 6 JR charge lead for added convenience.
