Thanks Dave - your right. Gonna choose one of the three airframes I have and start over. I'm taking breaks from that and flying the cp on the simulator. Will be very happy if I can get one of these set up and flying correctly, at least long enough that I can get some real air time in. You all have me eyeing dx6's on ebay, I'm trying to learn by experience rather than just throwing money at it but I just know that radio would solve ALL of my problems and I would instantly be a 3d pilot.
