DX6i DSMX 6-Channel Full Range Microlite Mode 2 (SPM6625): Spektrum

The programming you need with nothing you don't.

The 6-channel DX6i includes software for both airplanes and helicopters as well as enough memory to store settings for up to 10 different models. The 10-model memory is especially useful if you fly mostly Bind-N-Fly aircraft.

Programming the DX6i is about as intuitive as it gets. The combination of its Simple Scroll™ interface, easy-to-read LCD screen and simplified menu navigation will immediately put first-time programmers at ease. Many programming functions like throttle curves and expo are graphically depicted to give you a clearer picture of the changes you're making.

Overview

The 6-channel DX6i Microlite uses the same full range DSMX® technology found in the Spektrum™ DX8 and includes an impressive list of programming features for both airplanes and helicopters that are simple to access and use. It comes with the AR6115e DSMX Microlite 6-channel receiver, which weighs only 4.4 grams and is the ultimate 2.4GHz receiver for foamies and up to 400-class helis. Also included with the DX6i Microlite are four Spektrum DSP75 servos which offer superior speed, torque and precision for park flyers and micro helis.

Neck strap is available separately.

The DSMX branded DX6i transmitter is not compatible with the Spektrum AR6000/BR6000 receiver.
