I fly with a Futaba 18SZ and have been for nearly a decade; before that a 12FG, a 9C and a SkySport 6 (dating back to the 90's). It's been reliable and capable and can fly anything I care to throw at it. That being said: if I were to buy a new radio it would likely be a Jeti. I got to hold a few and they feel amazing; I like the stick feel, the triple redundancies, the plethora of telemetry options, the location of the screen, and some of the other cool features.
