I am getting back into the hobby and purchased the DX9 Black Edition. After learning the programming I am starting to like this radio. I did have some issue getting the servos and AR9350 RX due to delivery and production problems but these have been resolved. I went with the DX9 Black edition due to the case and included AR9020 RX. If you are planning on flying 1/4 scale you might needed the additional channels of the DX9.
