I tend to agree with Chuck. I have the Futaba 6DA. It is not a computer radio. This is an addictive hobby, and if you're anything like me in no time you may have a small fleet of planes that you can't even fly yet. I do!

I now need a computer radio for the model memory as well as many other features. This radio was given to me, the only plus I've found from it being 6 Ch. instead of 4 Ch. is that by using Ch.1 and Ch.6 for my ailerons instead of a y-harness going into just one Ch. I can achieve ailreon differential, & flaperons. I don't know how you would do that with just 4 Ch. So if there's any way you can swing getting the computer radio, I would do it. If you don't do it now, you will do it later, I'd be willing to bet on that! Otherwise you have to reset your trim, & throw settings every time you fly a different plane. If you have some model memory, once all your planes are set in the radio you can just select the plane & fly.( I hope[X(])
