I am also interested to know just how many channels are considered ideal for someone who will be just starting in heli, but plans to practice allot and eventually move to 3-D and aerobatic flight?
I sold my JR10sx , replaced it with a 9zWC because,I fly both planes and helicopters. The 9zWC does it all plus it's way more powerful of a radio with tons of features compared to JR. Their are way to many difference to list but some of the main ones are-
Futaba radio's have a Campac
assignable switches
Very flexible mixing
so on ----
If you're going to run all the options9gyro,gov etc.) you need a 9ch radio or 10ch
