The average computer is not enough to handle the RealFlight G4
A friend of mine had a computer 6 months old and had to send the G4 back since it wouldn't work on his computer.
The computer I have should be sufficient, it was built for gaming (although it never gets used for that).

The answer to the last of your original questions is no Your Futaba 6EX 2.4 system will only function with the matching 2.4 Futaba Rx.
Sorry for not clarifying, I was refering to a "buddy box" and not the RX.

"Will the 6EX be able to link with non spread spectrum Futabas?"
You are reffering to buddy box, YES it will with the right trainer cord.
Thanks, that is was I intended to ask.

I would use a Master Airscrew 11X6 prop. It can take more abuse than the APC. It is less efficient but that is something you don't have to worry about with your combo.
I will order a 11x6 prop. I'm sure I will need a spare or two anyways.

I see there are several materials for props (wood, nylon, composite, etc.), which type should I be using? Would a weaker, easier to break prop lessen the chance of damaging the engine, or is it not an issue?
