Hey all - I'm looking to come back to RC after a 4-5 year break. Last time I flew all the buzz was about all the new radios with the new spectrum technologies and what have you. A few questions regarding this:

Is anyone still using the old school radios? I have a Futaba 9CAP - a damn good radio last I remember. Can I still get away with this? I'm looking at flying .60+ size planes. Probably going to start with a sport plane like the Pulse .60 or Pulse 1.25 but eventually I'll probably get back into 3D.

If I were to jump on the new technology bandwagon - what is the consensus these days? I guess I'm looking for 7+ channels at a good price. I always used Hitec and Futaba but am open to whatever is trendy right now. Cost is obviously a consideration but I've always been the kind of person to pay a little extra for quality and reliability. Any good articles, threads, etc to get me up to speed?

Thanks guys

Edit: thought I'd mention i have the PCM version of that model
