A little opinion never hurt anybody! I have the 6EX and loved it!!!!!! That is until I purchased the Hitec Aurora 9. And I have a feeling if I ever purchase the Futaba 12C that would be the best. If the 6EX is all you will ever own then you will have a great time with trainers, cubs, u-can-do 3d planes, sport flyers, Cessnas (without lights), Biplanes and alot more models that I have not mentioned even a few warbirds! In short you will have a great time with this radio. If you have a small amount of desire to fly warbirds, IMAC scale like Extra 330's that are 25% or bigger or if you want to put cool things in like lights, retract doors, pnuematic doors or bays, smoke, projectiles and the like look for something bigger.

The 6EX is a great radio and it has alot of bells and whistles like expo(stick movement), end point adjustment(for your throttle), dual rates(in case you want a different setup on the fly) no pun intended! The 6EX is great but its greatness is dependant on the type of aircraft you WANT to fly. Dont worry about flying tomorrow or next week. Worry about flying the types of aircraft you REALLY want to fly. And that doesnt happen for a good 2 years or so!
