What is a good begginer transmitter? Can someone tell me more about these 2 models: Futaba Skysport T4YBF and Airtronics VG400. Would they make decent begginer transmitters? Which one is better? Can someone tell me if you buy a transmitter w/o servos and a reciever can you use any type of servo/reciever with it? I would appreciate it if someone could explain how that works.
Tell us why you have settled between these two. What draws you to them? Price? Features? Support?
Apparently you can get them without servos and receiver, so what price have you been quoted?
Have you looked at the Hitec Laser IV?
What kind of planes do you plan to fly?
Do you have any current equipment? Futaba will not work with most Airtroncis receivers and Airtronics won't work with most Futaba receivers.
We need to understand what you are trying to do. There are cheaper 3 channel radios. Why not one of these?
