New is sounding cheaper all the time, will check with the local club. Flying Forks. for instructor and compatable Radio, for buddy link.
before I order anything. I think a 6 channel will be enough. would like to be able to input several planes. looks like $175 to $250 would buy nice Radio, I do like the Airtronics with the larger LCD screen. for now will stay with the 60 size planes. servo wise.
thanks again for the great input.
Chris.
