Ok, hold on. Don't go buying more radio than you need.

Geeze, I just hate it when someone says they are just getting into the hobby (Or back into it) and people jump out of the woodwork suggesting high-end radios.

If you guys want a 9 channel radio, save up your pennies and buy one, but don't go telling someone who is looking at buying their second plane that they need one too.

Michael, if you are getting into your second airplane, the 6EX is more radio than you need, but it will give you a lot of room to grow. Go for it. Like Big Ed said, it doesn't come with servos, so you COULD just stick with the 72MHz version which is a lot less expensive and DOES come with servos.
