Default RE: What controller should i get?

I recently converted my planes over to standard electronics and checked around for a good 6 channel transmitter at a reasonable price. JR had just came out with the new Sport line this summer of computer radios. I picked the JR SX600 Sport computer transmitter. If sells for $150 and features 10 model memory, expotential, dual rates, v-tail, delta, and other flight modes. The package I bought had four servos with it that were too big for park fliers but the RX (600 Something), while not as small as the JR Sport 6 channel RX, is small and light enough to use in most planes. I think you can also customize your package with smaller servos and such at the same $150 price tag. Only thing I didn't like was the battery pack that came with the radio would only last about an hour a charge. I fixed that by picking up some Energizer 2500MA Nimhs at Walmart and installing them into an 8 AA holder that fits nicely inside the radio battery compartment.
