RE: Need experienced help on a new plane..?
I wouldn't go cheap radio. You can use the radio for a long time. What are you using for your helis? I like the 9C. I fly helis, gliders and power on it. One radio, six Rxs and I can fly just about anything I have.
Watch for tip stalls on landings with the cap. It can bite you pretty easy.
The price sounds pretty good if it is all new and straight. Have a ball.
