Diversity Antenna
Using a combination of vertical and horizontal arrays, the diversity antenna provides superb protection against polarization blind spots, ensuring your receiver always “sees” the signal.
Fly Smarter with Built-In Telemetry
The built-in telemetry feature gives you real-time information on things like your model's battery voltage, signal quality, engine or motor temperature, airspeed, altitude and more.*
Using the voice alert system, you can program the DX8 to tell you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it call out a sequence of telemetry values on demand with the flip of a switch. If you want to review telemetry after a flight, the DX8 can be set up to record the data to its SD card.
*Requires a Spektrum telemetry module and telemetry sensors, sold separately.

It was very intimidating at the start, but now it's almost as if the possibilities are endless, it's much easier and more straight forward than the 20+ yr old 388's I was used to setting up back in the day. BTW, the x388s seems like a relic in comparison to the DX8 as far as program-ability. I really like the menu screen of the DX8G2. I am completely amazed at the features and capabilities of the DX8G2 and the AR8010T receiver. The programming possibilities and features are endless. The fact that you can import and/or export the many different pre-programmed aircraft settings available for first setup, then tweak them to your liking is awesome.
As for fit, finish and feel of the DX8G2 when flying is ok, but the JR x388s hands down is much more comfortable, stick feel is much smoother than the DX8G2. The feel between the two is like night and day, and that's something that can't be changed with any amount of "programming." Spring tension is adjustable on the DX8 and that is something I look in too. For over all use and sport flying, which is what I will stick with, the DX8G2 will work great. I feel I made a great choice with the Spektrum DX8G2, it's a little pricey but you get a lot of features with that price. Thanks Amain Hobbies for the fast service and quick shipping.
