At the Toledo show I looked at the new FlySky TX's which look great... they look just like the JR 9503's and I had a chance to play with the new Turnigy's.

For inexpensive radios, they are not bad at all.

However take them to a field and ask for help, and you'll be alone.

Buddy boxing is an adventure, etc...

That alone prevents me from recommending these radios, especially to novices who are already struggling with the new technologies.

It is better for the novice to have the resources, guides and experience of one of the major brands.
