So, I will re-investigate the radio situation as I do not know where this adventure may end up. I've got interest in a multi-engine craft of some sort, but thats a far off place from now. Perhaps I buy a 6 or 7ch radio now, and when I'm ready for the ''big boys'' I'll step up to a 8 or 9ch radio and pass the Trainer and 6/7ch onto my Father. I'll just have to see.
I know a lot of people will disagree with the suggestion, buy I know more and more people that are buying this radio. They all love it (for the price). All of them re-flashed the firm ware with ER9x which is the main resin they like it. It really opens up the whole radio. You can download the firm ware for free. But for $40, how do you go wrong? Well, most of them converted them to Dragon Link too, but never heard anything bad about the stock Rx's.
