Default RE: Beginner Needs Help Choosing a Radio


ORIGINAL: Rockabilly Basher

Right now I'm leaning towards the Futaba 6EX 6 channel 2.4GHz and it comes with the R617FS receiver and 4 S3004 ball bearing servos. From there I would simply get more of the same servos and receivers as I get more planes. Does this sound correct, or am I off my rocker?

Any assistance will help this newb save a bunch I'm sure, so thanks in advance.
See, in the OP's 1st post he's already thinking Futaba.

Now that's a "smart" beginner!

Now if he was a "real smart" beginner he would get the system below and worry about upgrading later on as most of you probably did when you first starting out. That's why they have them on the market; they are geared for beginners without all the bells and whistles.

Or, why stop at a 6 or 7 channel when you can get a 14 channel and go all the way out! You'd really look cool flying your little trainer around with this baby! And it's under $5,000.00 too!
