I am starting to think I might be better off getting my self a 6 channel radio (not sure but thinking of the futaba 6xas, or 6exa- I choose futaba since I heard that’s what most people in the club I am joining use). Then purchasing an OS .46FX engine and either building one of the SPAD planes or getting a one of the other trainer the store has (this will depend on which way is cheaper). Of course, most of this depends on what is available at the local shop, or what they can order.

Do you guys think this equipment will allow me to grow and put of purchasing another radio (and maybe engines) for a few years? Or do you have any other recommendations for gear?
