Just do a couple of range checks with the provided radio before you fly.

You should be fine with that.

Later, if you decide to stay in the hobby, get the best possible radio you can afford, even if it means that you'll have to save up for it.

One good radio can see you through dozens of planes.

Novices tend to skimp on the radio, which is a big mistake.

Don't think, "I'll never need so many channels" ( you WILL! And having them will save you money!), "I'll never use those fancy features" (YOU WILL!!!) and "it's too much to pay $400.00 for a TX... ( no not when you consider that a good TX may serve you for well over a DECADE and you'll not be tempted to buy another! ).

I made the mistake of starting out with the cheap TX's and I still regret it. Over the years I've progressively upgraded the radio.
Had I taken the money I spent on the endless line up upgrades and put it into ONE radio, I would have a $1500.00 top of the line monster with money saved.

A good multichannel ( 8 or so ) computer controlled radio with a lot of model memory slots will handle many planes. My current TX handles 50+, so it's become the only TX I now use... ( remember I still have my collection... )


Once you purchase a TX you are pretty much locked into that manufacturer as well... so the initial choice is very important.
