well im going with the futaba radio because i live in the middle of nowhere and there isnt even a hobby store in my province (im in canada) and there are 2 people in this town besides me that fly nitro planes and one of them i dont know but the other im good friends with so hes going to teach me how to fly nitro planes (he has 32 planes 7 heli's and 5 trucks witch are all nitro or gas) and i found out that most of his radio's are futaba so it would be common sence to go with that. and for the record im on a budget because im only 14 and i already own a t-maxx (some modds done to it) a electric plane and a electric heli and the t-maxx needs some new parts and i also a another 3 hobbies that starve me for cash aquarium's , reptile's and extreme moutian biking
