RE: Avistar w/.40 LA ??
Mikeflyzz,
This is personal opinion but I would suggest looking at more than just a 4 channel radio. If you fly on a regular basis your skills may get you to the point in another year where you are starting to look at more aerobatic planes. It is really nice to have the extra channels to run dual aileron servos. A basic 4 channel will do the job now but later on you will be wanting more capabilities in your radio and buying something with more than 4 channels now will save you money down the road. If you want to keep the cost down you may even check with your local club. Chances are someone in the club has a used 6+ channel radio they would like to sell.
