FY31AP - Failsafe testing..... Futaba 6EX, erm what do i do to test it works?!?!

Hi Guys.
I am getting my head round the whole FPV flying and enjoyed the Northern Area meet the other week.
Just a quick question. All my gear is Futaba  2.4GHz, with 2 EX6 TX. As I progress forward into FPV I was looking at the Futaba FG8 super. (outch price.) Would this TX do ALL I want it to do. Failsafe, RTH with FY31 and all other function I may require for FPV set up ?
I know I may get  ---- How long is a piece of string answer, but I don't want to spend that sort of cash if it will not work for future FPV set up.

Yup 8FG will do it all including 14 channel receivers/fail safe any channel how you want etc etc
Also can use S-Bus receivers. Note to set failsafes you need 8 channel plus receivers ideally. I recall the 7channel/6 channel receivers only allow throttle fail safe settings.

Great transmitter and you'll get range of around 1km plus radio wise.

Sell both your 6exas on BMFA or ebay and look for a 2nd hand 8FG or Even a 12FG...

Just to throw a thought in....

Why not invest in some UHF first. This will be fine on the 6EX and with UHF you will be able to set your own failsafe for whatever you need through the UHF set.

The only slight downside of the 6EX is the limited number of channels, the FY31ap works as you can set end points to suit it. I have mine set to off and return to home, not using the circle function.

JUST A THOUGHT?!?!?
