Thanks, the stick does seem to be a time proven favorite but the tango seemed similar as far as what it could do. I am leaning toward the stick even if there are several of them at the field at any given time. As far as engines go can I still count on OS? thats what I had in the past. As far as radios you are the second to mention the spektrum. (a guy at work has one loves it). I have always had futaba but am not married to the brand. I have a 72mgz fm now but the 2.4gz seems almost fool proof and interference free.
Futaba is struggling a bit in the 2.4Ghz radio market. Spektrum/JR and Airtronics are offering transmitters with more features for less money and additional receivers are available at a much more bearable price. I''ve only flown Futaba 72Mhz radios myself, but when I make the jump to 2.4Ghz it likely won''t be with Futaba.
If several folks at your field are flying the Big Stik ARF, then maybe the Easy Sport is a good choice for something that flies the same but looks different. The Easy Sport .40 ARF shares virtually all of the Big Stik ARF''s virtues. You could pair either the Big Stik .40 ARF or the Easy Sport .40 ARF with the O.S. Max .46 AX and the radio system of your choice and enjoy terrific flying for many years to come.
Good luck and good shopping!
