You'll want a radio that is capable of mixing dual elevator servos. I don't know if the Hitec radio you mentioned will do that, but it would be a REALLY smart thing for you to check into that radio BEFORE you buy it.

I used a JR652 for many many years, and it worked great. It is a 6ch programmable radio. The only problem was, when I got into bigger planes trhat had dual elevator servos, it wouldn't mix them properly. I could run a programable mix, but only the master servo would respond to the trim inputs from the transmitter. The slave servo just sat there. I had to use a JR Matchbox to get the job done. Tried the servo reversers, but they never work right. Always get differential throws with those reversers.

You'll probably need this fuction sooner or later if your going to get back into the hobby. If I was you, I'd buy a cheap 2-stroke engine and a cheaper plane. Spend your money on the radio or you'll end up tossing it and buying ANOTHER radio next year.

Your getting back into the hobby after a little bit off. But, your on a budget. You're probably rusty unless you've been on the simulator a lot. I wouldn't go for the newest whiz bang 3D plane and hot 4-stroke right outta the box if I was you. Not because you can't handle the planes--not at all. It's because your paying a premium for that Saito 4-stroke and also that H9 plane.

You can get totally cheap 3D planes and 2-stroke engines if your on a budget. Planes and engines are a dime a dozen. Cheap. Airplanes are REALLY cheap if you know what to buy and where to get it. Engines are a bit more of an investment, and I'm a bit picky about what I buy. I buy cheap engines, but I know of a couple different brands that I like and run well. Stick to what ya know works.

But, the thing you should spend the largest amount of cash on right now is a good radio. The radio is an investment you want to make once. Maybe 3 times. Radios are expensive.

I upgraded from my JR652 up to a JR8103 after flying the 652 for like 6yrs. I imagine I'll be flying the 8103 untill it's a dinosaur. It's got all the mixing and programming I'll ever need. Only way I can see myself needing more than the 8103 can offer is a Spektrum system on 2.4Ghz. But right now, the 8103 has tons more programming features than the Spektrum 7. So, I'm waiting a few more years for Spektrum technology to improve and work the bugs out. It'll get cheaper and better in 3 or 5 yrs. Thats when I'll buy my 3rd radio after 12-14yrs in this hobby. Some guys go through radios like glow fuel. I'm not like that. I took my time and found out what I needed to satisfy my type of airframes and style of rigging. Then I bought a nice radio and I'll sit on it for 6 yrs untill technology drastically improves and also drastically gets cheaper.

So, buy a nice radio NOW. Or you'll be buying another one next season or the year after that.

For planes, you can get a ton of stuff.
And Saito engines ain't exactly cheap.

Get a solid 2-stroke in the 100--150 size and THEN find a 60-90 size plane to fit it.
