but please take the transmitter from around your neck when bending down to check, start or adjust the motor.
OK good point

. A safety note about neckstraps. Always ALWAYS tuck it in your shirt while you are starting the engine. Once you pick the up transmitter and back away from the plane to taxi out, clip on the strap and go fly. Its quite simple actually and a very easy habit to get into.
Trainers, Cubs, 4*40s, sticks, .40 size planes, and small scale planes are what 80% or more of the people fly. That's why basic 6 channel computer radios are so popular, the have what MOST people need. I've had my 6EXA for more than a year and the ONLY issue I've got with it's only got memory for 6 planes. I had to take one of my planes out of commission because I'm getting another ready!
Yes, you are right.
But depending on your intentions this may or may not be the right choice, that is my point. Im not disagreeing Im just saying that there are a LOT of choices and the beginner should be aware of ALL their options so that they can make the most effiecient purchase.
I started out with a 4 channel and then knowing I was going to need a good versatile computer radio after doing some homework went with the 9C and Im sure glad that I did.
