Satchi and satchi quadcopter light show

Not sure of this is the correct forum, appropriate or if it's been widely distributed previously. I came across a you tube video which with syncronised quadcopters used by satchi and satchi as a backdrop with lighting beamed onto them. For all I know someone here may have been involved but seemed funky to me..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cseTX_rW3uM&feature=youtube_gdata_playerAngusSee More

"If you plan on any FPV in the future then you will need a Futaba, as the trainer port on the JR won't accept the extra input signals for a head tracker. I had a good JR but when I started doing FPV had to go out and buy a good Futaba. One with…"

" Hello Angus,   I would also recommend the Futaba 8 FG super, I see a lot of customer take these radios over the others due to the number of features and functions offered, they also have the S Bus system. I know they are more expensive…"

"Lots of people use the $55 Turnigy 9X.  It's probably the most popular transmitter out there and it has the most features since you can load customized open source firmware on it (with a hardware modification). "

Mike Mac replied to Angus's discussion RC Transmitter/Receiver advise..
"I use the Futaba 8FGH super for all my flying. That’s the best deal these days because you get a 14-channel transmitter with an 8-channel receiver. You can expand the receiver to full 14 channels through the Sbus port. 　 I have flown many…"

Novice seeking advise..

Hi guys/girls, I have recently joined the forum and spent the last few days immersing myself and undertaking some background reading.
