What he said! Istarted out with G3 at my dads place since he got me into the hobby, Ihave since purchased my own set and the controller is almost identical to my 6ch Futaba that Istarted out with and still happily use to this day. I paid 180 bucks for it and don't regret a single penny its that good for me! There are others out there that can be useful too but RealFlight is what I am most comfortable with.
