We have a buddy who is getting back into the hobby and wants a radio suggestion.

As I've been flying JR for years, I most certainly recommended it! I love my 12x-MV!

There were some grumblings out and about, and the 28x thread has posts mostly about figuring out the xbus system.

The Jeti thread is 98 pages long (ok, I didn't read it all yet, but I'm getting through it) and the majority of the posts seemed to talk about how cool this or that feature was.

That's a subtle but poignant difference.

What about weatronic? Futaba? Multiplex? Airtronics? (Gulp) Hi-Tec?(double gulp)

So, what radio should my buddy get?!
