you might have a down side with the Spectrum if no one at your field has a JR that is compatible to buddy to right? It might be ok to look at what BigEd was saying and get a Hangar 9 product with a JR sport series so you have something to buddy to later. Do the other JR radios work? I myself am on the fence about the Spectrum, but not sure I want to drop that much at first, when I can get the RTF packages for around what just the radio costs. I haven't taken the final plunge into this addiction....er..Hobby yet and purchased a plane or radio system. I'm still reading and reading and reading to try to learn as much as I can and get other people perspectives. I did buy a sim and that was worth the bucks I will say.
