Is it possible to buy a radio that would be a good starter but allow for growth into my future interests? Thanks in advance!
Hello Tarm,

The answer is yes. Check out the Futaba 6EXAS it's , relativly inexpensive, has full features, Futaba quality. This radio will last you for years. You will get lot's of advice on MFG's, the bottom line for me is that you really can't go wrong with Futaba or JR. If it were me I would stay away from the 7 channel and up radios for now. It's most likely you won't be using more than 6 for a very long time. Be sure to get a computer radio with modern features (like the Futaba 6EXAS). These features include, multi model memory, digital trims, mixing capabilities, exponental, dual rates, throttle cut off, LCD screen. These things might not mean alot to you right now, but they will and you will wish you had them. Do not buy a new anolog radio with 20 year old technology in the box, a modern radio with the aformentioned features will only cost you an extra 20- 50 bucks.

PS- I just had agood look at the Spektrum DX7, I have to admit that's one nice system. It looks like it'll cost you about $350.
