Still, its the best bang for the buck. Oh, and did anyone mention their 16 channel transmitter??
I guess the best thing to say is that its good to have options. Personally, I would just fly with what I have (least cost). In the meantime, read up on all 2.4 brands, then decide which one you want to use. Its going to be a hefty investment so don't rush.
And look around, you will be surprised what comes by sometimes. I helped a friend grab a mint condition Futaba 7c (with 2 receivers) for $100 (no, its not stolen....yes, he stole it
).
Thanks for the info. That was my plan exactly - to get something inexpensive to get the wheels spinning again. I've never skimped on RC equipment in the past but don't want to make a huge dent in my wallet just as I'm getting back. I'm only looking at sport planes right now. Eventually when I get into the bigger and 3D stuff again I'll get a full set.
Thanks again, and I would love more info on the telemetry if you've got it.
Happy holidays!
