Thanks for the replies, but a question after reading the posts. Can the tactic 650 be used on some of the parkzone flyers? I'd like to get into that soon as I get comfortable again flying a trainer. Or are the Parkzones for use with strictly Specktrum?
No,

The Tactic uses a different (and proprietary) radio signal. It is called SLT, or "secure link technology".

Any Spektrum or JR radio,with a DSM2 or DSMX signal, will fly all of the newer Hobbyzone Super Cubs, any Parkzone or e-Flite BNF aircraft, and any BladeBNF helicopter.

The Spektrum DX6i will fly helicopters, airplanes, sailplanes, and multi-rotors with ease. And, it is available, without a receiver, for less than 150 bux: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...FW1yQgodlEQApw

If you didn't have the HZ Cub, I might recommend a different radio, but the Spektrum DX6i has served me well, among many Futaba, Hitec, and Walkera radios.

Horizon Hobby's outstanding customer service is also a good choice for the noob. Go for it.....
