Yes, it MIGHT hit the limit IF he steps up to more complicated planes. However, the $60 difference is significant to MANY people. Somewhere around 80%, or more, NEVER fly planes that won't work perfectly well with a basic 4 channel radio. And as Minnflyer has shown (can't remember if it was here or another thread) one can do WAY more with a 4 channel radio than many do with the more expensive systems they seem to feel are so necessary.

I'm giving the OP alternatives to show that it IS possible to begin this hobby with limited funds. If he can afford a more expensive system, great. If not, a BASIC 4 CHANNEL RADIO will do just fine for the first and many more planes.
