Thanks you guys. The Walkera looks good and affordable. I'll have to think about that one... If I was to invest in a quality radio that will last and hopefully not grow out of, what would you recommend? I would like to get something fairly soon so I can get going on the Phoenix simulator.

3D, yea, I realize you don't need to do the 3D with a 3D chopper, just wondering if there was a non 3D option out there that was known to be more stabel because it didn't have the 3d technology incorporated into it? So Trex is the best bet?
Thanks!
