I bought the futaba 6EXA as my first radio earlier this year, thinking, this does all I need for it too do. If your a casual sport flyer, then yes, but since I am going into pattern next year, I find it very lacking. I *WISH* I would have gotten the 9C, but since then, the 7C has come out. I WILL be getting either the 7C or 9C over the winter.
