Hi, I am thinking of purchasing an airplane (I have an aerobird (and use FMS a lot), so fly would not be totally new to me) in the next few months (hopefully I will have the money by then).

I cannot decide whether I should go with the hangar nine extra easy 2 or the nexstar (cost about the same). My main reason for the Extra Easy2 is the five-channel computer radio since one of my goals in the hobby is aerial photography (I also like the extra channel if I ever want to do a bomb drop, or add something else to another model). My other choice is the nexstar, I like the looks of this airplane better than the extra easy 2 and it seems to be fairly highly recommended; I can buy this from my local airplane club (but I also can get the other one from another town that I visit several times a year).

Will the 5 channel control give me more time before I want an upgrade, or would I be better of getting the nexstar to support the local club, or save money by buying a cheap 4 channel system (alpha/arrow?) and use the extra cash for a better control?

I also asked the local shop owner if he could order me the Extra Easy2, but he said he could not since he would have to sell so much of Horizons stuff a year for him to do that (this is a small town- pop 10,000).
