Eddie,
This is the radio I bought with Heli's in mind , actually nitro but I'm starting out with electric.
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXGAF5**&P=3 and Tower is having rebates !! I love free stuff !! They are also giving 25.00 off orders over 199.00 I'd try to stay above channel 16 , if you decide to use this with any small electric planes that use a single conversion rx you can have interference problems. Thats with all brands on the low channels and single conversion.
Andy
