eglitch,
I'd suggest you consider finding a used 9C -- someone who'se bought a 9c super for example. Then you spend the same amount of money but get a lot more radio....this is a great radio with a great reputation and a lot of great features. I've flown everything on this, from indoors through the 1/3 scale GP Extra my hubby Mike and I designed.
Have a great day and happy flying!
