zeratul1320 - If you're really interested in all those things and think you will be getting into all of them in the next couple years, then I recommend that you buy a good heli radio. The Futaba heli radios also have airplane modes so they can be used for just about anything. But the airplane modes do not have as many features as the dedicated airplane radios.

I have an 8UHP (out of production) and don't miss what isn't there. I don't have any other brands, so I can't say if they have the same type features or not (airplane and heli in the same tx).

Good luck and welcome to the addiction.
