    - Receiver and FBL controller can be combined as Spektrum AR7200BX (AR7100 + BeastX)
  - Satellite receiver: helicopter of size 500 and bigger need an extra receiver because the helicopter may shield or interfere with the reception of the main receiver.

Spektrum DX8
- Came with Ar8000. I traded that one for some nice parts
- Came with Spektrum TM1000
  - The only sensor included is the tempature sensor (which I don't really need)
  - To be fully useful I need a cable from the TM1000 to the receiver (for power and receiver telemetry), a battery voltage sensor and an RPM sensor.
