After a flyaway last week due to lost signal I am going to upgrade my radio system on all my multirotors which use the apm 2.5 flight control so I can utilize the lost signal failsafe.

I recently switched from an older 72mhz futaba which dropped chan 3 to zero on signal loss, worked great, to one of the cheap 9x Turnigy radios which doesnt support this feature. Only reason I swapped was the telemetry range was severly hampered.

I am looking for a nice qaulity transmitter that will have the greatest possible range and allow an external antenna so I can place the ant on a mast if neccesary. It would be nice if the unit would support 8-10 models in memory and would have enough channels and or mixing available so I can set up the 6 flight modes I have become used to with the turnigy transmitter.

Cost (within reason) is not an issue, recievers being easily avail seperatley is a must as I have 7 multis using the apm and I will need a rec for each.

I am sure this is an issue thats been disscused to ne end but my ability to use the search engine here is not so good.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
