Hi, I am considering buying the DX5e transmitter as a first transmitter, will this aircraft bind to it? Also, what is the wingspan?
1150593
Hi pal, the wingspan is about 60 cm. It's very easy to fly it for the first time, and it was my first airplane too)). It's better for you to buy Spectrum DX6i, designed for 6ch. I have the same device and i'm satisfied with it. P.S. Don't buy a transmitter from China sellers because it's a very big chance to get a fake with very low range of distance.

Yes, It will bind ok with the DX5e (I have one), but I recomend the DX6i as a MINIMUM because you can also set expos and you have a memory for 10 different models. The wingspan is 24 inches (610 mm). Hope this helps.

Wingspan: 24.0 in (610mm)You Will Need - 5+ channels DSM2®- or DSMX®-compatible full-range transmitter for flap operation so the Spektrum DX5e will work.

Yes, that is an awesome first transmitter and it will bind just fine, but for a little extra money I would get the dx6. It holds 10 models. The dx5 only holds one. The wingspan is about 24". Hope that helps.

Yes it will bind, however, a transmitter with multi position flaps and elevator mixing will make it much easier to enjoy the benefits of flaps. I use the DX5e but look forward to investing in a nicer radio soon.

I use a Spektrum DX5e and it works great with this quad. I was told however if if wanted to upgrade to the much more advanced quads the DX6i would be necessary. I hope this helps and good luck!

Yes, the Spektrum receivers always come with the bind key if you buy them new. The only Spektrum transmitter that does not work with this receiver is the DX6 park flyer type. Your DX5e should work fine.

We'll yes as all r/c planes. Please don't buy this plane. After one flight the plane doesn't work. Transmitter works of a range of about 3 feet and ducted fans burn out. Spend a little more money on some thing like a cub or some sort of trainer. THIS PLANE DOES NOT WORK!!

A transmitter is the remote. You can get one on amazon. The best one for the money for this plane is probably the Spektrum DX5e.

A Transmitter is the "remote control" if you will. You can get one on here as long as it is DSM2®- or DSMX®-compatible. I recommend the Spektrum DX6i because it will allow you to use it on up to 10 aircraft but keep in mind this will require setup that is a little involved and not for a novice. DX6i DSMX 6-Channel Transmitter Only Mode 2 I personally own this plane and the DX6i and can tell you it is not a good beginner plane. It is a bit touchy and fairly fast. Go for a top wing model like a super cub for an easy plane to fly. A Transmitter is the "remote control" if you will. You can get one on here as long as it is DSM2®- or DSMX®-compatible.

I use this transmitter with Phoenix RC Simulator (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00872H13C) which comes with a USB cable you plug right into the back of the DX6i. Works like a charm.

yes, no problem. It will transmit the frame losses, fades and holds information to the screen on your transmitter (I use a DX8). It will also show the receiver voltage. You can additionally add sensors for temperature, flight pack voltage and rpm.

Yes you can bind Nano cpx with a DX6i, which will give you control of pitch and throttle curves, among other things like dual rate switcing and atvs and allow for a better flying heli.

I don't know why people are saying this comes with the DX4e. The description in the RTF page I am looking at says it is the DSM2 transmitter they are bundling it with. That is way too little transmitter for this model. I wouldn't fly this, or a Nano with anything less than the DX6i.

I am very new to Quads and RC vehicles as a whole but I am learning fast. The Spektrum DX5e is a good controller and works great. I am now looking to get a controller with more bells and whistles such as electronic readouts on it such as timers, battery levels and various other things I've been told the higher end ones can do but I am still researching the DX7's and higher. The get kind of pricey so what comes in the RTF box is awesome....you can always upgrade later.

Hello. I have the new 2014 DX6 controller and I have 11 planes bound to it including my P-51D. Awesome plane. Still one of my favorite micro series. If this is your first 4 channel you can set the limits at 70-75% initially until you get comfortable. Then set a switch to 100% and you are off. I carry a pocket of batteries and fly mine and my Trojan T-28 micro (best 4 channel starter plane in my opinion) all afternoon. Good luck and hope this helps. SHARXFIN

They both have a DX4e transmitter. If your skill level is good, I would recommend starting with the Blade Nano cpx. If this is your first Collective pitch help, get this one first. This one is bigger, so it will not be as touchy to the controls as the blade nano cox. I have both and the Blade Nano cpx burns motors quick. If you get the blade nano cpx, get a Horizon Hobby brush less upgrade for it. The Blade Nano cox is almost Indestructible. I crashed it so many times and it still flies. The blade MCPx has tail blowout problems and is a little less powerful in stock form, You are more likely to break stuff on the MCPX. You should probably get a DX6i if you plan on staying in this hobby. With this, you can adjust almost anyrhing. I find the pitch not enough on the DX4e for me to do 3d flying while on the Blade Nano cpx, it is adequate. If you get this rtf, enable the expo on the DX4e. You can see how to do it on my review of this helicopter. That expo is makes the heli have a mushy feeling and it is not the best. Believe it or not, I am still flying with the DX4e. I will upgrade yo DX6i soon.

What radio are you using? The DX5 that comes with the plane has 3 modes. The DX6I that I use only has two but the receiver is programmable. It can be set to beg/int, beg/adv, int/adv, etc. Just look at the receiver dip switches. The label tells you which ones to set for each pair. Hope this helps.

YES it does come with receiver. BNF means all you need is the DX5 transmitter. I love to fly the super cub. It is a great trainer, and always fun to fly. I recommend purchasing a flight simulator (Phoenix 5) which has a model of the super cub in it. Along with hundreds of other models to fly. If you are serious about RC it will save you tons of $ in the long run, and it's great fun. You will need the same transmitter for the simulator as well. ENJOY!

If you are speaking of the DX5e, yes.I am not sure about the DX5 or if there is such a transmitter. A recent answer on the Horizon Hobby site confirmed my first statement about the DX5e.

I would recommend either the DX5e or the DX6i. If you plan to fly more than just this plane, I would spring for the DX6i. I initially bought the DX5e and then had to upgrade to the DX6i because I kept buying more planes and helis. (The DX6i can store the model memories of ten airplanes/helipcopters, and is more programmable which can make planes fly easier with dual rates and expo).
