MMM & Spektrum users, I require your council..

[suicideneil]

Will be placing the order for my new DX6i in a couple days, but I would be eternally greatful if any MMM and Speky users could chime in with any useful advice for me. I appreciate the handset I'll have is a tad bit different to the pistol grip ones you guys use, but Im talking mainly about things like:

EPA settings on the throttle channel
Arming time on the MMM
Fail safe modes
Operation modes, regards signal types?
Throttle channel reversing if required
Binding issues/ any known dodgy rx models


Anything at all I should know about to make calibrating & programming the radio to the esc easier- I will pick up a glitchbuster cap since my servo is a bit of a monster.

I have done a fair bit of reading and it seems the best rx ( for range ) is the older AR500 model, though the set I will be buying comes with the AR6200; I understand this is a parkflyer rx so not full range, but then again what kinda range does it have? 300 yard radius say would be more than fine for me, though I'll need another rx for use in the Gmaxx regardless so its no biggie.

Thankyou in advance for any hints and tips you kind/ perverse people can provide
