I agree about spending a little more on the TX. Find a nice used one here on RCU marketplace and you wont regret it. I have a Futaba 7C and really like it. It has a lot of great features and a good price. The new 6 channel computerized radio from Futaba is a good choice too. It is somewhat limited though on options.

I also have a Futaba skysport6. I bought it bc I needed a flight pack and with the discount tower had on the tx it was the same price to buy the transmitter w servos etc as to buy just the flight pack. Its a nice radio with dual rates and setup for flaps and retracts. I think I got it for right around 100 brand new and that was with 4 servos and a rx. Its not computerized but its about as nice as a noncomputerized radio can get and if you catch them on sale they are a great deal.
