Specs: 4 Channels, 4 102Z Servos, Super Narrow Band Dual Conversion Micro Light Weight 7 Channel Receiver, Receiver & Transmitter Nicad Batteries, Charger, Trays & Hardware. It sells for $119.99. I realize you get what you pay for, but I was thinkin that this would at least get my foot in the door to flyin, and then when I want to get a better plane, I can purchase a better radio, possibly a 6 channel computer, but for now would this suffice?
thanks,

That is pretty much what I recommend to new flyers. If you decide you need a computer radio, the flight pack you get with the VG 400 is the same as the one that comes with an RD6000 or RD 8000. Actually, I am going to order one of these from quantuum myself, because the $119 price is actually cheaper than buying a second flight pack and extra transmitter battery for my RD 6000.
