in my opinion your better to get futaba or jr radios, 9c or jr 9xII is your best bet if ya dont wanna have to upgrade once again when your 7 channel wont do what a 9 channel can. i learnt the hard way from this, and another suggestion , keep with the futaba/jr radios, or unless you do wish to risk your planes with a (crashtek/Hi-Crash) radio, either way i will never go back to hitec apart from servos.
