I am eager hear the results of your new radio. If you dont mind, can you tell me a little more about the computer part of this radio? What you do with a radio, what it's purpose is, etc. I hate to sound ignorant, but I am. I am new to this.

Is it for storing trim settings for different planes? Is it for proportional control for helicopters? I am just guesing. I plan to buy a new plane and radio sometime between now and Christmas. I want to make a well educated decision.

Also, do the servos usually come with the radio? If so, how many? Does the receiver come with the radio? I was kind of leaning towards buying a package that has every thing needed. That way I am sure to have everthing I need. But, most trainer planes I am looking at that come with a package include a 4 channel radio. And I tend to agree that if I plan on continuing this hobby for many years, I might as well buy something that I can use for a long while. So I guess I need to learn exactly what all I need and how they come. Radio, servos, connectors, motor mounts, motor, Rx , Tx, etc. Is there a good place to learn all this without hounding the guy at the hobby shop?


Thanks for your help,
