Buying a cheap radio can be false economy. The quality and support is generally not what you get with a brand name radio like Futaba, JR, Hitec or Spektrum.

I never skimp on the radio as this is the heart of your RC experience. I would recommend something like a Spektrum DX6i which is a base level but still very capable radio.

Brand name radios will have a better resale if you decide the hobby is not for you. You might find it impossible to sell the radio you mentioned as a used item.

Another good one is the FrSky Taranis, but this has a steeper learning curve.. FrSky is a different brand to Fly Sky which is the one in your link.
