First welcome to the forum Bignuggets and on making a wise choice in going to the Tactic system. A story such as yours is very, very common and while the very cheap systems that often are poorly or even unsupported may function ok, it often does require untold hours in learning and research. The better supported systems and systems where you can get first hand support are a far better choice for many of us.

I am a hitec user but the tactics system is and excellent system that not only can you get some of the best after purchase support but also first hand at your local flying site and right here in this forum . The tactic system also has the abilty to buddy box using a cordless system which is very helpful to the new flyers or returnees.
