I believe that I will eventually switch brands. I am eyeing the jr 7 channel. Or maybe just the futaba 7c
I strongly recommend you spend a little more and go for the 9-channel versions (Futaba 9C or JR 9303) because these have a removable frequency module. That'll allow you to upgrade to 2.4GHz or add a synth module if you want. The smaller 7-channel unts are fixed-frequency with no upgrade path. And, even though you might not think so now, you *will* eventually want more than 7 channels!
One of the reason I just bought a JR 9X II is because neither my Optic 6 nor my Eclipse 7 have enough channels to really do my 50cc Extra gasser justice. That thing as *three* Y-leads because I'm short of channels. The 9-channel set will make life so much easier.
