Thanks for all the quick answers!! My first ever post to this forum and many replies in 24 hrs. I actually am going to start with a Hobbico Nexstar Select package, which comes with a 4ch transmitter. However, I am most interested in moving up to warbirds and aerial photography. The reason I'm asking now is because I tend to patiently shop around over the course of many months to acquire things. I'll probably keep looking on Ebay for a deal on the radio, and when I find a good deal, I'll get it even if I'm not quite ready to put it all together yet. So, I mostly wanted to know if it was a good radio, and if I make a 6 channel plane, could I use a cheaper 6 channel receiver to run it.

Thank you all again for the help.

John.
