Spektrum DX8

[RCP57]

Thanks for the input. I asked the local shop about ordering a DX6i with the throttle springloaded and they said I would have to order it direct myself... but one of the guys did give me a spring from another radio and I think I can make the pins and other pieces myself to convert it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but the DX8 has five proportional channels and one 3 pos switch right? This would be the minimum requirement for my current and future builds and I really don't want to have to upgrade again anytime soon.

Thanks Reg
