I chose the BNF version of the cub so that I could choose a Tx that I can hang onto for a long while. Through an interesting series of events that I don't care to explain right now, I ended up with a Tx that is way overkill for this plane, but should serve me well into the future.

Again, I cannot thank you all enough for the information and encouragement you have provided. I've clipped this entire conversation into Evernote and plan to refer back to it often.

Thanks again,

You got a DX9! Good choice. I am watching the Australian distributor site daily to buy one the instant it is available.

And a wise choice of aircraft too as you can't go wrong with most of the BNF aircraft. I have several and they fly nicely and have been reliable for many years.

Good luck and enjoy this great hobby.
