Radio For Beginner
I also posted this in the electrics forum:
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 have seen some favorable reviews on the web. My question is this: Should I buy the suggested 3-chan 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/five/six channel radio now? Am correct in assuming that I can fly a 3-chan plane using a four or five channel radio? Which one would you suggest? I surely don't want to spend more than $200-250 on it.
Thanks,
Patrick
