No, but will most likely serve you well untill such time as you decide you want to go farther than to ''for the time being I was hoping to get a ARF .40 size trainer that can get me in the air quickly so I can shake all the rust off.''....
Exactly... it will "do" for now, but if you stay in the hobby, you'll wish you had purchased a better ( more channels ) radio later, and end up spending more in the long run.
Some love to jump on my and other's case about this suggestion, but I'd say go right to a 7 or 8 channel - IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT -.
Jumping up that one or two extra channels on the TX, normally brings along a host of other features, improved display, more programmability, digital trims, more model memory, etc. etc. etc. plus if you elect to ever sell the radio, you'll have someothing that people may WANT to buy from you...
