Mine arrived last Friday. It was in almost perfect shape. The box had been loaded a bit on the top and this caused some damage to one of the aileron horns (got squished a bit into the foam. I will beef the area up prior to flight).

I am impressed with the plane. My boy is gonna have a GREAT birthday!!!

The manual for the Spektrum DX5e says that the trainer function can be used "with any JR or Spektrum transmitter". Do the REALLY mean that? I am not a JR guy, but I have an old Unlimited Series VIII transmitter, that I bought from Circus Hobbies back in 1980 or '81. The batteries are, of course, completely gone. Will this old thing function as a trainer box with this new Spektrum???

Just a minor note on the trainer thing. I bound my extra DX6i to the apprentice and used the included 5i with a trainer cord with a student. It works great. My only minor criticizm is that the cord plugs into the side of the 5i right at the spot you would hold the transmitter. So, it is a bit awkward to hold when using the cord. The cord plugs into the 6i on the back, so it works fine.

Yes,
You need to have the reversing switches (or settings if you are using a computer radio) match each other between master and slave. This is pretty much the rule with any radio. When I do a ground check with the radio I do it first then walk the student through the process with the trainer switch enabled so they get in the habit of checking this too. If we have a switch amiss that finds it.
