RE: Radio Advice
"Gee Gaws", bells & whistles - granted they're not really needed. I still try to have my planes mechanically adjusted so I don't need the computer end-points. BUT I'm sure glad someone invented digital trims and end-point adjustments. Best thing since bottled beer. Buy a radio that has them and you will not regret it. I have a 6DA and every time I go back to it from my 9C I can't believe how crude it is. Sliders and pots for trims, mixing and throws - how Neanderthal!
The 7C is hard to ignore for the price. I think I paid the same for a 4 channel Futaba with three servos around 1980.
