Instructor uses Futaba but says to check with you guys on the Tower deal. Right now I use a tower 4 ch analog but really like dual rate feature on his radio. He recommended a 6 ch computer if I was going to stick with the hobby. I have never been as addicted to anything like I am this hobby. I thought turkey hunting was addicting but season has been in for a week and I havn't been to the woods yet only the flying field. Instructor said the 6 ch computer radio would do me for many years of up grades if pocket book would allow. Told him pocket would allow but wife might not!
