well stated push rodz
I also like the Nextstar, and Thunder Tiger trainers, but have you flown the Nitro Capital Flyer from mega tec. It has a wing that can be set with Dih. or with out. Grows as you do. I really loved mine till I tried to haul a cup of beans at a fun fly

. It landed in top of some trees(Heavy would not turn). I got the police Helicopter to blow it out. The futaba 6XEA is my pick over the radios you stated. I have both, but the 6XEA is simple and easy to use with 6 modals. I have a 9CAP even. To many buttons and switches. The simpler the better in my book.
