You hit that one Planebuilder.. I'm the only one out of 5 or 6 guys in our club that DON'T have a 2.4 that flys regularly. There has been a couple of lost planes because of " I don't know what happened!" Everyone of them was with 2.4 TX. I won't be buying one in the near or far future !! And the last thing you said, at close to 100 bucks a plane the RX are just too expensive. I try to keep 6 planes ready to fly. With everbody going to the new TX, the "old stuff is dirt cheap"!!! This hobby is supposed to be fun ! Not break the bank.
