Ithought I was buying a pretty good sim and transmitter, I acctually thought I was getting the best they had but the website may not have been updated for a while where I got it. I like the DX5e and I don't know about the higher end newer ones but this one seems just fine for me and the Pheonix software that came with it are great for me because I don't know any better.

I should have done a little mroe research before purchasing anything but I wanted to just get going on it so bad that I made some timely mistakes. I'm sure it's happened to many guys when they first started out.

Thanks for all your excellent feedback and knowledge!!!
