You have gotten some great advice here. It all comes down to 2 things, personal choice and budget. The radio you are looking at is a great radio. Montague pretty much spells it out. You really have too look deep inside yourself and see where you want to go with the hobby. If scale, jets or precision airobatics excite you then you should look up the ladder at better radio's. If general sport flying or sport scale is your main interest then by all means the JR set you are looking at will be fine. The 6102 (?) is supposed to be a real good bang for the buck.

I fly Futaba radio's myself. Only because that is what the local guys flew. It helped in buddy boxing and learning. I have 2 old super seven's and 1 9C that I just bought. The 9C is a great radio and is all I will need for the forseeable future. I want to get into scale and some pattern some day. This radio will hopefully get me there.

I hope we answered your questions. Remamber, you are the one buying the radio. Choose what YOU want, not what someone tells you to buy. Good luck.
