I would say that Whtbronco is right, both Futaba and JR are good radios. I would suggest however, that you check with the local flyers that will help you with your setup and learning to fly and see what radios they are flying. If you purchase the same brand, they will be more able to help you with information and assistance when you need it. Which ever radio you decide on, the Futaba GY401/9254 gyro package is the way to go.

In our club, Futaba is the #1 choice and we all have great success with their products.
