Why do you need a special radio?

So, let's discuss what kind of flying you want to do and if you really need a special radio. Today's computer radios can do a LOT with mixing that might help you.

First, there are lots of 3 channel electric planes that can be flown with a single stick and the throttle. Throttle can be on a switch or a side slider if you like and all can be reached from one hand. No messing with nitro or needles or any of that stuff. Starts every time.


You can mix ailerons to rudder so that you can do coordinated turns without having to use two sticks.

Flying wings, glow or electric, are usually 3 channel whether gas or electric so only one stick needed.

Tons of 2 and 3 channel gliders.

There are a LOT of planes and receivers coming on to the market with flight stabilization that could work well for you.

Tray radios might work well for you, especially when combined with flight stabilization.

So, what are you trying to do? You may not need a special radio.
