advice on decent "air" style radio... don't like my trigger anymore.

[J1A1H]

I never really liked my transmitter. I am just not fond of the trigger style control...
So I'm looking for an alternative.
Currently using this: http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/car/item/2000040-Ansmann-W3-2-4-GHz-Radio-System-3-Channel__745b/

Its not to bad for a cheap transmitter... NEED AN UPGRADE!!!

Now I'm not sure if there are any 3ch Air style radios out there... but i don't mind getting a 6ch as i can use it with a heli when i eventually get one.

But if i get a 6ch radio... would i have any probs with the left stick? Could i lock the left stick to just move up and down instead of left and right??? Also have a return spring which brings the throttle/brake stick to centre???

I don't know if i am asking too much from a controller.... but i was looking at a few...

Any other recommendations?

I don't think I would like using one of those for land based stuff.

why not??? it was all i used to use when i was much younger and just got much more used to it. I found out it is exactly the same as the 3pm just in stick form... seems like a win win for me. 3pm quality in the right controller for me. A little expensive but is well worth it...

Can someone comment on how well synthesiser crystals work compared to ghz???

x2. They are so bulky and such a burden to hold. I try to stay away from stick radios at all cost.

I love Futaba for these reasons, I like their 2 miliseconds on freq, I love futaba in general and I like that they developed a chip just for this.
But there is a bad problem with the small display .
ppl likes the Dx6 and the Dx7 (some say that : there's some JR behind the Spektrum name)😀🙂
and for the price the are almost the same
