I just upgraded to this transmitter and this is an excellent crash course on its features. It’s pretty amazing how powerful this radio is and how many features it has. I think for 90% of the pilots out there this radio will accommodate all their needs. Thanks for the great content.
Great review! Another cool feature is short cut getting to model menu. On main screen, push the clear and back button at the same time and that takes you straight to model list. Saves from having to go to system setup menu then to model select.
Hey Rich. The best transmitter ever. I love mine. I have one for over a year now and it is perfect. It was expensive but worth every cent. Thanks for this video and greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
I have tested many transmitters till now but I feel that this one was moulded around my hands. And like you said I love how can I slow down the flap travel. Since then I dont use any mixing with elevator. And it is so simple to use once you get to know it. The only thing that I dont like is the price of the recievers. If you buy one or two it is OK. But I have bought arround 30 pieces and that is a lot of money. But like I said, the best transmitter ever. Stay well Rich and cant wait for your next review. Cheers, Robert
Pilot Robert. You must try the Hitec Aurora 9. It is life changing. Though not as modern (fancy flap-menus for example), the ease of setup and general feel is amazing. The receivers are also much cheaper than Spektrum equivalent. I recently switched from Spektrum to Hitec.
Hey Peter. Thanks for the tip. I was looking at that transmitter. I have at home I few other transmitters from different manufacturers but his DX9 is just perfect in my hand. The grip is perfect. I dint even use a neck strap with this baby.I have about 30 recievers for this baby and I have just bought the new ORANGE for test. If that will work I will be able to get recievers for a resonable price. But thanks again for your comment. Who knows, maybe I will buy one for the test. Stay well and greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
I had seven or eight of the OrangeRX receivers for spektrum, and they worked just as fine as the originals with regards to reception. The new V2s even support RSSI feedback, which as absolutely awesome :)
March 2020! Just saying... I'm buying this because of this video. And I haven't even received my first (in about 30 years) RC plane, a Carbon Cub S2+, but it'll be here Tuesday! Got the RTF version but want flaps at some point and like everything I get involved in...I know I'll dive in feet first and go full tilt so I'm confident because of this video, this DX9 Black will serve me well for my fixed wing acquisitions over the next couple-a-few years. The simple but functional DXe coming with the CC S2+ will be adequate to get me in the air short term but being a FAA GA pilot, I completely get the necessity for the extras and enjoy the added complexity. This will be a hell of a lot cheaper than what it costs to keep the prop spinning on a time-killing, fun flight in the Cessna. I'm a bit amazed on where this hobby has gone nowadays as back in my earlier days when I was flying sailplanes, you bought an expensive 72 MHz radio for each plane and then spent months building and hoped you didn't stuff it!! Maybe a build will be in my future but not before I go through some BNF or maybe ARF inventory. Great detailed video. None of it was lost on me and really enlightened me on the detail oriented aspects of Tx set-up. Thanks!
I use mine for everything along with my DX7. If you get one please consider using my link in the description below the video to purchase as is supports my channel:) Thanks! Rich
A really good review. I have had a DX8 for a few years and I think the DX9 is a worthwhile upgrade with Telemetry, Voice Alerts, better battery life and the extra slider controls. The ergonomics, menus etc look the same which is important so I can just buy and fly, no need to worry about unfamiliar controls.

You will really like the Transmitter. Learn to use the pre flight list. It will save your bacon!!! The voice commands are really nice and will help give you verbal info rather than having to look down at the screen.
I will probably do some more videos of individual menus with some more detail in the future....

I see that Spektrum offers a SD slot in the DX9 and has set ups to download for some models on their site. If I recall correctly, RC Groups may have a topic on set ups. All that to say that I am stumped on how to use this feature. First, where do you find small
Just got my ix12 and the first thing I noticed there were alot of swirl marks on those switch stickers. It almost looked to be used! But I didn't know that they were just protective stickers. Thanks for showing that as I was thinking of sending it back! I should have just got the dx9 it looks sweet! :)
I thought all black editions came with the aluminium case. Good review, i have owned my dx9 black edition for about a year now without any problems at all. I can recomend the dx9 case.

I recently ordered a DX8 gen 2 , which is an upgrade from my DX6...not really seeing the big advantages of switching to the NX series , unless I fly the new Spectrum smart batteries.....are you still using the older DX8 too ?....thanks
WOW another great tip with the add space/remove space special characters at the 31:00 mark. I did not know that's what those were. A few times I've had to retype a model description all over again because of a silly name change that I wanted a space added or else removed.

@@RCINFORMER Glad to hear that your Futaba 8J is working just fine. It will outlast any Spectrum Transmitter 20 years from now. Folks at my club here in Maine, and the one in Florida, have had too many "brown outs" with the Spectrum radios.

@@franknapolitano9144 Frank, I have flown many.... Futaba, JR, Spektrum to name a few, over the last 4 decades..... I have a Futaba 8J as well, video here► th-cam.com/video/N65oC-nHe5M/w-d-xo.html .... The 8J is a great radio. However, Spectrum has better, more user friendly menus for airplane use. My DX7 and DX9 have been in use for years in most every plane I fly nowadays. No brownouts.

Yes, they were late to the 2.4 game but they were careful with the technology and tested it extensively where they were able to incorporate into their own system after the bugs were finally worked out,( I.e., the same bugs Spectrum has not caught up too at this point )..... If you have a big investment in large scale Aircraft, Fly Futaba.
Spektrum have the trainer in the wrong place .. should be a spring-loaded switch on the right not a stupid button that hurts your finger during extended use.. Its a bugger to use to train any one using Spektrum for this reason.
Rich ,great review..great radio.....I was surprised to here you say you don;t use throttle cut option though. It can be a life saver for your aircraft and your body !... keep putting together your great videos.
im guessing this does not include a receiver, in that case could you suggest a good rc plane receiver to compliment this transmitter, i'm going with an electric motor
Thinking of updating to the d9 since the 7 was discontinued. Spectrum needs to stay with one good design,seems every other year they change things again.
Now that you have standardized on Spectrum & it's been awhile since you did switch, are you still happy with your choice? I find myself in the same position...lots of different radios & rx's, you name it I must have it. Mostly Futaba & Spectrum with a smattering of others. I would pick either spectrum or Futaba & probably be happy with either. However I do have slightly more spectrum. Just looking for your opinion.....thanks
QUE STION. Can the rotary knob switch be used for the flaps / elevator. And if so will it have full travel. For sail plane use. Small adjustments while in lift. Instead of all, half or nothing. Thanks.
Hello Rich your video is awesome about the DX nine the only question I have is where do you find the flap system mine does not show it like yours and your video please let me know thanks.
Hi Rich, I am undecided between the Dx8 and Dx9 (getting this at a pretty good price point now). How do you use the 9channels? I was wondering if you had any issues with oragne receivers w.r.t. signal etc. What receiver set up did you use for your FMS Tigercat? It will be great to have an educational video (do/don't safety tips etc) on receive-transmitter set up for big planes like the FMS Tigercat. Excuse me for shooting so many questions at once. Thanks.
@@src2920 Sweet, both are great radios! I hve used both and prefer the 9 for the extra channel.... I would get the 9 if you can. THe DX9 is my primary radio & I often use all 9 channels. My F-14 uses all 9 :) I need to get a 12 :)
@@RCINFORMER Thanks. If possible, I would love some tips on the FMS Tigercat set up. I just love this plane soo much, it's on my wish list:) All the best.
Why do you use the Hobby King quantum telemetry? Just easier ? I have it and find it super easy to see even on really sunny days. Nice work at SEFF 18.
Electric sky I use it for many reasons. It is the only telemetry that will handle 100 amps. Also, I can use it on many models as I can move it from model to model.
To be honest, I haven't been flying at all last few years. Was doing mostly park flying with quad and helis. Been wanting to get back into planes again though. But I am in Orlando, Avalon near UCF. If I remember correctly your local to me, right?
So let’s say I don’t want my rear landing gear on my p51 to close, and I just want my front gear to open and close , I can do that? I have a 1700 mil FMS p51 and my rear gear hangs up and wish to keep them open all the time.
Eu vs us has to do with power and radio frequency systems different countries have there own regulations so the radio you have in witch ever country your in must legally conform to there regulations
First you had me sold on the futaba and now I'm all confused again.😥 I'm new to flying always been a car guy and I'm trying to choose my first radio. So for me what do you suggest? I'm thinking about the futaba 10J or possibly this exact Spectrum. I hear Futaba has better range and Spectrum can loose signals. But Spectrum is more compatible with most BnF planes.
ScragbyteRC You will not go wrong with either one but I prefer the SPEKTRUM. It is easier to program with better menus, I like the switch position for airplane use, & it feels better in my hands as is is more solidly built.
ScragbyteRC I have heard a few things regarding older SPEKTRUMS. However I am only flying the newer DSMX stuff & have not had ANY signal loss issues. I use ugh DX7 & DX9 on all my new demo models.
I was thinking of buying an DX9 BUT when I look at spektrumrc.com I saw that DX9 was on "Discontinued radios" and on "Current radios" ?????? And 3 times I have tryed to get an answer why? But spektrumrc.com DONT answer. So why buy anything from this bad company ? Here on TH-cam I get one answer....."gen 3" not from Spektrum.com. The radio seems good, but how do you know what radio you pay for ? An old or new? There not seems to be any easy way to find out. ....And it seems very bad that them use the same namn and looks on several other radios as well. But why cant them answer an easy question? Is the company that small? For me this question only show that you not can buy from them. Is spektrumrc.com a bad company? Big "WARNING!" Or ????
@@RCINFORMER wrong ? if its pulling ot a side then it's not aligned stright and pure fact that he said nose wheel and idepent trim means flying a jet so VARY LITTEL TORUE AND P FACTOR i have never even heard of anyone triming nose wheels
All you have to do is get the Allen key that came with your TX and place the height on the knobs where you want them and then tighten the screen down! That's it and it will stay there until you change your mind.
rcflyertim he was referring to the toggle switches with the rotating screw ring around it that often loosen up and then your switch actually rotates sometimes... keeping those tight can be a pain if they get loose
I just want to confirm that you used yours already? Just wanna make sure we are clear....alright it’s confirmed he used the transmitter already. Roger that I hear ya loud and clear the transmitter is used.
You must first activate the flaps and add the FLAP SYSTEM selection to the list..... TO DO THIS: Go into the SYSTEM SETUP menu, Then select the AIRCRAFT TYPE selection in the menu..... Then select the TYPE of wing you have on your plane with the type of flap system you have..... After you back out of this menu to the main screen FUNCTION LIST menu list, you will now see the FLAP SYSTEM menu selection in the list:)
Nope! Its common knowledge.... Its my business line. Also available on my website! Folks call me all the time for info regarding my videos. feel free to call:)

I'm thinking about the futaba 10J or possibly this exact Spectrum. I hear Futaba has better range and Spectrum can loose signals. But Spectrum is more compatible with most BnF planes.
ScragbyteRC You will not go wrong with either one but I prefer the SPEKTRUM. It is easier to program with better menus, I like the switch position for airplane use, & it feels better in my hands as is is more solidly built.
Ok. What about the Spectrum loosing signals thing I hear about on the forums? Is that not true or a problem with older model Spectrums?
And also how do the two compare as far as range.
ScragbyteRC i have never had a problem with range. With airplanes, I never fly farther that I can see it.
ScragbyteRC I have heard a few things regarding older SPEKTRUMS. However I am only flying the newer DSMX stuff & have not had ANY signal loss issues. I use ugh DX7 & DX9 on all my new demo models.
Should I skip this and get the ix12??
That may be next on the list.... however the DX9 rules!
I was considering the ix12 until I saw the reviews. Looks like Horizon really screwed up this TX with an operating system that was not ready.
@@SizzlingStu Happy to say I went with the dx9
I was thinking of buying an DX9 BUT when I look at spektrumrc.com I saw that DX9 was on "Discontinued radios" and on "Current radios" ??????
And 3 times I have tryed to get an answer why? But spektrumrc.com DONT answer.
So why buy anything from this bad company ?
Here on TH-cam I get one answer....."gen 3" not from Spektrum.com.
The radio seems good, but how do you know what radio you pay for ?
An old or new? There not seems to be any easy way to find out. ....And it seems very bad that them use the same namn and looks on several other radios as well.
But why cant them answer an easy question?
Is the company that small?
For me this question only show that you not can buy from them.
Is spektrumrc.com a bad company? Big "WARNING!" Or ????
if your planes going to one side as you taxi out you didnt set it up right clealry the nose wheels not stright
It may be a main gear wheel that is not aligned with the longitudinal axis of the airplane, thus pulling the airplane to one side.
@@RCINFORMER wrong ? if its pulling ot a side then it's not aligned stright and pure fact that he said nose wheel and idepent trim means flying a jet so VARY LITTEL TORUE AND P FACTOR i have never even heard of anyone triming nose wheels
all i am saying is the trim of a nose wheel is a mute poiint becouse your plane should roll stright
I'm so annoyed that on my dx6 the screw things around the toggles keep getting lose. You have any suggestion how to prevent this
Those can be a pain... from time to time i need to tighten those as well.... they need to include a special tool for that.
RCINFORMER glad I'm not Alone in the issue.
All you have to do is get the Allen key that came with your TX and place the height on the knobs where you want them and then tighten the screen down! That's it and it will stay there until you change your mind.
rcflyertim he was referring to the toggle switches with the rotating screw ring around it that often loosen up and then your switch actually rotates sometimes... keeping those tight can be a pain if they get loose
ahhh ok
I need special price cod coupon???
Is this transmitter telemetry capable?
Says telemetry right on the radio bud
By the way, NEVER Bang the sticks! Want your radio to last, treat it with care, and NEVER bang the sticks!
How does the dx6 g3 differ from the dx9?
At this point only channels
I just want to confirm that you used yours already? Just wanna make sure we are clear....alright it’s confirmed he used the transmitter already. Roger that I hear ya loud and clear the transmitter is used.
And all of that meant something really important???
I’m a dick
Sorry
Hello Rich I have the DX nine black edition
You must first activate the flaps and add the FLAP SYSTEM selection to the list..... TO DO THIS: Go into the SYSTEM SETUP menu, Then select the AIRCRAFT TYPE selection in the menu..... Then select the TYPE of wing you have on your plane with the type of flap system you have..... After you back out of this menu to the main screen FUNCTION LIST menu list, you will now see the FLAP SYSTEM menu selection in the list:)
Probably wasn't the best idea to leave your phone number in full view on the video. Thinking you may want to fuzz that out;)
Nope! Its common knowledge.... Its my business line. Also available on my website! Folks call me all the time for info regarding my videos. feel free to call:)
RCINFORMER sorry, was trying to help. Thought it might have been your personal number.
teamgmotorsports No problem, thanks for your concern... I try to stay accessible to viewers for questions.
DX6e (gen) does alot of this. . .Lol.

Spektrum is overpriced unreliable junk. Customer service in the UK is a joke.
It's the best in the USA.
4 spektrum radios in my house.
Looks CHEAP!
Time to get your eyes checked might need glasses.
