I'll agree that it's best to stick with the big 4 top tier manufacturers for radio gear, but the OP is wanting something low cost and the market has provided it. There are some flyers that simply aren't going to spend the money for good equipment, so the Turnigy and a few others are there for them. If he's just flying slow foamies it's not like a loss of control is going to be that dangerous or cause that much damage unless he likes to fly near trees. It's not a half bad test for new receivers to go up first in a cheap little foamy plane to make sure they are going to work properly before putting them into your good planes.
