Hey, I bought the 7C back in the summer and it has been an awesome radio. There were a few programming bugs at the start, but if you do your research you should not have a problem working the menus. One thing that kind of limits you with this radio is that it has the square type trainer port that all the 9C (newer futaba radios) have. This can cause an issue if you are going to buddy box with an instructor with a HiTec radio. Otherwise it has been really cool. I am thinking about going to a mid-wing or low wing sport plane once I get tired of flying SPADs.
