I was going to suggest that radio too. Remeber, you have the radio for a long time. Spend the extra $150 on it. You will be very glad you did. It is 10 times the radio you are looking at and will last you a lot longer. If you ever have to upgrade, it will cost you more then, and if you get it now, it will be there and you won't have to spend the money later. If it takes you a little longer to get the money, it will be really well worth it. It is way easier to program all the heli parameters into it than the one you are looking at and will make heli flying way more pleasant. If you ever have to sell it for any reason, it will bring a lot better return on your money than the other one as well. Don't just look at the price, look at how much more you are getting. You can find them used on ebay or on RCU once in a while, but they are new enough you won't find a ton. Look hard, it will be worth it.
