Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I recently got the RC flying bug when my brother got a Megatech Merlin electric plane for christmas. Now I want one that actually works (The Merlin is pretty bad). I want to stay electric so I can fly in the schoolyard near me. The Graupner Tipsy looks like a good bet. I think it has gotten pretty good reviews around here. My question is this: Should I buy the suggested radio at Hobby Lobby (HTR971K) or get a better radio that I could use on future planes? I am already going to have two radios, and I am not looking forward to having to buy another one when I decide I want ailerons. Would you recommend buying a four or six channel radio now? I surely don't want to spend more than $200-250 on it.

Thanks,
Patrick
