I agree with the recommendations of the guys saying to upgrade one step further.......IF you're definitely hooked on this hobby........I bought a 6X about 2 years after I started flying, and used it for about a year, but then outgrew it....fortunately I was able to sell the transmitter for a pretty penny.......I have a 9C now and love it.....very easy to program also (easier than the 6X)....the 7C is also a very nice radio with almost as much functionality as the 9C......It would work well also...but you are limited to 10 model memory, with the 9C, you can keep adding CamPac modules....the 7C is definitely bargained price however.
