Check out servo city for great prices on radio equipment. I fly with a futaba 9C and love this radio. A couple of my friends fly with 7C's and like them also. I had the hitec eclipse 7 and it was a good radio also. The hitec doesn't have the same capability as the futaba radios. The futaba radio's are much more user friendly and have more mixing options. The JR radio's are very nice also but I don't have any experience with them. At servo city you can build a custom system with the components that you want instead of having to buy a system with servo's and a receiver that you don't want. Check out thier web site I think it is www.servocity.com.
