If You plan to do any flying,You may be better off buying a better radio.EVERYONE(if they stay in the Hobby) moves up to bigger and/or more complex airplanes.The basic(Low priced) radios don't have the number of channels,or mixing functios to handle their 2nd,3rd or later planes.Most people who start with a "Basic" radio,end up buying a hagher priced radio soon after they start. Something like a DX7 may be a very worthwhile investment,before spending the $100-$150 on a radio You will only use for your first plane, or two.
