Very professional camera work and above all, the two hosts present themselves well and are great on cam. Their personalities balance each other out and the video doesn't get boring or corny. I personally like how the technicality gets downplayed by the comments of the 2nd Josh character. There's no point in having a second host if he just does the same job as the first amiright? Great job.

@jbboom52 Im pretty sure spektrum radios only bind to spektrum and JR receivers

[HDNimbra]

Will you make a review of Graupner MX-20?? Great channel by the way! thanx.

Warning, nooby question coming: I'm pretty new to rc flight, i have a spektrum dx6i. If I'm shopping for a new plane that comes RTF and has a 2.4 GHz receiver, can i use my dx6i transmitter or does it NEED to have the DSX receiver in it?

Great job on the videos guys, you two work weel together. At the moment I have threee separate Transmitters all which came with my planes but I've been wanting a TX?RX I can use on all my planes ( more to be purchased in the future) and I was sure which direction to go Futabu,Spektrum or Jr but the DX8 price wise seems to be the best deal yet. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching..
