I have just begun the hobby of R/C aircraft and am having a blast. I purchased a NexStar all inclusive system and it has served me well. Some members at the club are saying I am ready for solo after two sessions. I am not comfortable sharing that position, but appreciate the confidence. I am looking for suggestions on my next radio. The four channel Futaba radio that comes with the kit is very basic and I would like to replace it. I have already bumped my trim levels and needed to look back at my notes to get them relatively close for the next flight.

I would like to get a computer model, 6 channels, and one that utilizes the frequency modules vs. crystals. It is my understanding that with a frequency module I can have multiple frequencies available to me when I come across a conflict where my current frequency is already taken. At this time I do not plan on doing anything fancy where I would need a 7+ channel radio. If I ever get to that point I will re-invest in an appropriate radio at that time (with whatever the latest and greatest features are at that time). The only frequency module radios I seem to find are the 9 channel high end radios, more that I need or care to spend at this time.

Any information is appreciated,

Rob
