Spektrum - NX7e - Transmitter First Look 

He puts the scale right back in the cupboard after use... LOL... says a lot about his perfectionism.

Great video and product rundown Brian, I'm a Terra Firma RC channel primarily, but I'm just starting to get into aircraft, and you guys have been my greatest source researched "for plane and transmitter information so far.😊 As far as Terri firma RC stuff, I've been into RC's since I was 4 years old and I just turned 50 yesterday,😄 "that's a lot of RC time and experience under my belt" 😊 But airplanes are a new experience, and you guys have been a great help so far.😁 As far as Google; 🤔 Agreed...😕 I've had a channel since 2016 and have just over 5k subscribers, with a ton of great videos including custom vehicle modifications, unboxings, and full length run and build video's,😕 I get pretty decent numbers with everything, but at the same time I'm being Held Down by YT and the powers that be, my channel is very underrated....😔 As for making money on my channel; since the start of my monetization in 2018 or 2019, I've only made a grand total of about $1,800.00 us dollar's and that's from the start of my monetization until now, which is like 6 years later.😕 My biggest year was during the first C-19 outbreak, and I earned just over 1k that year. 😕 YT is all I do for a living, and if it wasn't for my parents kindness I would have starved to death years ago.😔 I don't know if it's YT, Google, or just Bad Luck, but I'm definitely being held down by the powers that be, and their still earning no matter what.😕 Back to you guys.... Thanks for the great video and videos Brian, you guys do a great job and you cover all the bases, "which takes a lot of time and effort I know" and I'm one of the rare few who recognizes that and appreciates it,😊 "Because I'm the exact same way"😂 except that I'm a one person show and have to do all the RC work, along with all of the filming and editing as well,😕 "editing being the most time consuming"🙄 Regardless..... You guys do a great job and I appreciate it. 😄👍 As far as the transmitter; It's a little ugly 😄 but not the worst, It reminds me of a white Futaba Attack that I had way back in the day,😊 I was looking at the NX8 before this video, but now I'm leaning towards the NX10.😁 Waco; Awesome little planes 😊 Talking about being deceptive; My channel is one of the most honest out there, I'm a straight shooter and I don't B.S. anyone "when it comes to anything RC related on my channel. Which is smiler to you I see.😄 Great job guys!👉🏆

I got this transmitter a few weeks ago and I can say that it is a wonderful transmitter and gets me just what I need. I would definitely recommend this transmitter for most beginners starting with foamies. Love the video!

I'm considering re-entering the rc world. I raced 1/8 gas cars for years then gave up the sport completely. I am very interested in planes, I owned a glider 25 yrs ago and i destroyed it the 2nd flight out. This video was EXTREMELY helpful. I will probably get this nx7e instead of the nx6. I dont plan to go higher. 6-7 channels is enough for my old self. thank you very much for the thorough video.

Very informative! Tyty

It's so good. I got it because of you guys

I ended up getting the nx8 and the 1.2 Eflite Corsair at the same time. Something cool. Spectrum has already loaded most of eflites planes in the transmitter. pretty much any plane equipped with spectrum smart receivers. I thought that was cool. Not just the down load from the site . It's actually already in the transmitter.I just had to bind. I mean as long as your ok with the buttons for control that they program in.

I havent tried the "beer truck" angle yet. Probably wont work. My wife is super generous in her support of me flying(and crashing,and fixing,etc...)rc planes. But, shes also quite shrewd. 😊Soooo, My dx6e will do until christmas morning. She's been instructed to use YOUR links, btw. Fingers crossed over here. LOVE that WACO! i've got some Washington Nationals decals that'll look dee-licious on the wings of that Red/Wht one. Nx7e lokks cool, too. Def better than what ive got now. The knob, for gains is sick. Anyway, ill be happy when i get my meat hooks on a new nx8... 6 or 7 or 8 very loooong weeks from now. Love the video! Awesome job, Camera Crew 👍

Love the nx10. It has everything you need in a transmitter. Talking about flying normal rc airplanes, not about multi thousand jets, which I usually see people using them with jeti, or multiplex. For me spektrum is the best and easy to use.

Is the dx6e still ok? I was going to buy one as I'm going to the spectrum line as fairly new to fixed wing RC. I really don't plan to go further than flaps and retracts for budget reasons.

Thanks for reviewing this transmitter in such detail, Well done! Just wish they decided to go with a charcoal grey instead of a white. Like you I guess we could learn to like the color though. I hate RU-vid and the FAA dont want us to fly these model planes in parks and grass fields and yet I go to another channel they are flying a quad copter right up to a moving Freight train and that some how is ok . Think the FAA should focus on them not us with styro foam planes. But thats just my opinion. Till the FAA gets there mind made up will be here at your channel and enjoy watching you fly sir. Have a good one!

I have an Apprentice S2 1.2M, and the DxS it came with. I want to get into the hobby more, and likely additional planes/sim usage. My question is, would you recommend this (or another Spektrum Tx) or switching to RadioMaster i.e. Boxer ox TX16s?

Use a neck strap and you won't drop it. Or add some rubber stick on stuff to the back. Easy fix. Been flying for 20+ years and never needed wifi. What I do wish is it had the voice so I didn't need to look down at my timer for flight time.

When I re-started RC some 2+ years ago, the shop turned me to the DX6e. I wish they had introduced me to the NX8 instead. The 6e is OK but has some quirks that I still don't understand while setting up SAFE. The 8 that you have been using for a while seems much more straightforward especially with forward programming and an adjustment knob. For now, I'm sticking with what I have until i progress further in the hobby.

I really want a nx transmitter, but here in Denmark is so damn expensive, compared to America. I currently using a dxS from my Apprentice RTF. I had to tighten the control sticks since I needed more resistance. I think NX-8 would be a good choice?

Good evening Brian. So I just bought the Nx7e. I think I'm ready for my F15Edf 63mm maiden flight. I have no idea what I am doing with this 7 channel. And i hate to say it but I have difficulty comprehending things I read. The manual is frustrating to me. Do you have any videos showing the binding process and Channel selections for the eflite F15 edf?

I couldn't agree more about your lipo safety spill there, Brian. That is so important, especially for the new guys. Because you can literally burn your house down if you do it the wrong way. But if you follow if you simple safety rules, wipers can be perfectly safe to use.

You can adjust the height of the sticks by pressing down the lower knob and rotate the upper one.

Hi. How can I set servo speed on Nx7e

Happy to see they discovered USB C! What do you use the R-Knob for?

I'm still using the original DX7! Why? Because it's still working being basically a JR radio! Only thing I'd like is the automatic timer start and the higher 11ms frame rate of the newer radios.

I have the Spektrum DX8E and i am very proud having it its awsome and I don’t need more. For me The disign of the NX7E Looks a little cheap and i think the White Color does not fit a Spektrum Transmiter but that’s just my opinion

Have you looked into the tx16s etc? I converted from spektrum because of the lack of features/price. I feel like there build quality is inferior and the pricing is extortionate. Plus with open/edge you can use all spektrum smart as3x stuff anyway...

They say they are preloading on all nx series transmitters.

If only we all had a million dollar budget like you

Does this transmiter talks or just beeps?

You mentioned you have almost 200 planes on the nx10. Any chance you ever thin out the hanger? Would love a “Brian Phillips” rc.

Wheres that old guy who loves commenting first on BP vids?

In case I missed it does it have wifi

Hey Brian, You need to build a Hanger for all your planes & make your wife happy. Great video and .keep fighting ! Ron

Hey Brian, where did you get the neck lanyard. That is exactly what I’m looking for. I didn’t see the link.

Concerning the FAA and remote ID , does anyone have a link for me to print out the rules stating we can fly aircraft that are a certain given weight? Would be nice to have a official printed document to have just in case.

Took me a bit to notice but....Why are you comparing a radio that's double the price?

Or you can spend $30 less and buy a FrSky X18. So save money and :: -You get hall effect gimbals -You get voice alerts -You get full programming power to whatever you want or will grow into -You get switch assignability -You get a touch screen -You get way more switches and sliders -You get a bigger battery -You get a dual diversity antenna (2.4ghz and 900mhz) -You get rubber grips and probably even more that I don't know about. The main negative (well, not a negative to me) is that you can't bind to eflite toys. Basically for $299, this NX7e is a completely overpriced for features by a long shot, this radio shouldn't even be a penny over $150 for what you are getting.

Fight the good fight!

It's just I don't care for the white color of the new 7 or I would go with that

I think its time you build a hangar, your living room is filling up

NICE... 😜😜😁😎

I need one of these so so bad 😭😭😭 Pls do a giveaway Brian 😁

Hey Brian can you let us know exactly what Google is doing to you? You expressed that you were upset at their actions but didn't say not hint even at what those actions were that had you upset with them.

When you're out in public, say, shopping for instance, do you ever slip and call your wife, "Canera crew"? lol You sure seem to like that lil Waco, and I think I need one too!

You really shouldn't poop on your cellphone. OOOGLE wouldn't approve!

Looks like a Milk Shake

If it wasn't white. I agree it would be awesome. 7 channels for $299 not bad Spectrum

Shame on Google.

I went to my local hobby shop. And they did have one I do not like it. I had to compare it with the NX6. I believe that new radio is designed very cheap. Want to really take a look at it. It's not made very good, not good quali. Prefer to have my students purchase the NX6. The 7 is too cheap.

Honestly, these just aren't as good as something like a radiomaster tx16s or boxer. Those are much better bang for your buck, you aren't limited to only 6-10 channels, they're multi protocol and they are much more functional and customizable. You can get a tx16s for a couple hundred bucks and it'll do way more than even the nx10. You can even do spectrum forward programming.

got a headache,I wanna fly my plane,not by autopilot

I watch you and I fly helicopters, I cannot afford a nv20… radios are a dime a dozen… like computers… every 2 months there’s a new pile of crap. We all can afford 2000 a week to buy new transmitters. It’s very frustrating.

Waste money people.

Wouldn’t buy NX7 just based on its blah appearance. Yuk! Ugly prize for 2024. And hey, my old Dxe has 7 channels. $20 used.

I have a NX8 and i am not very fan of this transmitter and the white color....

Yawn. Same old, same old. Lipstick job on a stodgy design. When will Spektrum ever address the fact that the screen is partially blocked by the strap? And who asked for bigger, ever? Ergonomics from the golden age of r/c. Exactly the same layout as my turn of the century HiTec Optic 6 transmitter! Radiomaster is really killing them, at a tiny fraction of the price. My NX10 is garbage compared with my Radiomaster Zorro. NX10 has been my worst radio purchase decision ever. And if you use Apple Mac, Spektrum is like Shingles. They don't care. Get windoz or get lost. I don't think Spektrum has brought anything new or even improved to market since they came up with spread spectrum technology. You guys getting freebies sure have a tough job sometimes. Painful to watch.

No voice, no trainer, a poor, cheap tx.
