I've currently been flying an Aerobird for a few weeks, and I'm considering buying a Tiger Moth.
This advice that's listed above makes sense. My question would be is would I be able to use this type of 4 channel transmitter for the majority of park flyer planes, or would I be better off buying lets say a 5 or 6 channel transmitter for possible planes I might buy down the road?
I'm not sure what all these channels are used for and what the most channels I would need. I know I'm interested in the Tiger Moth in the near future, but I'd like to be able to use the transmitter I buy for future planes too. Any thoughts?
The four channels are for Throttle, Ailerons, Rudder and Elevator.
Everything else is luxury....flaps, retractable landing gear, photographic equipment and such. Until you're at the point you want all of those things, then don't bother with anything more than a 4 channel.
