May I make a suggestion? How about one of the new 6 channel computer radios. You can take your choice from the major manufactuer's. These will be more useful as you grow in the hobby. I would suggest the same brand as you already own. You could use the old transmitter for your own buddy box. If Hitec is yout choice I would suggest the current Eclipse 7 channel radio. It is a good unit at a good price. Good luck and enjoy your new plane.
