EXELLENT ADVICE!!!!
Otherwise you buy a cheap one now, and ANOTHER, probably much better one, later....
Or in my case... another slightly better, then another used, then another.... until FINALLY I went and spent what I should have in the first place.
Had I taken what I spent on my first two or three TX's and put them together, I would have been happier, spent less overall, spent less on reversing servos and matchboxes, and used a MUCH better TX through my initial "learning" period.
Had I elected to leave the hobby, I would have also been able to sell my better TX... unlike my first POS purchases.
I couldn't bare to part with the cash for a GOOD TX at first... it just seemed too expensive... Wow was I wrong!!!
