Thanks guys. The price of the airtronics is nice. it seems to be a very good radio for the money. The spektrum look to be about $100 more for an equal radio. i know Futaba is good, but, haven't had much luck with the longevity of them in the past. My old futabas just stopped working after long term storage. Of course that was 20 years ago.
I have another question. Right now I'm stepping upto a 4 channel fixed pitch heli. I honestly don't know as of yet if I'll ever make it into cp heli's. I'll get back to you after flying the honey bee FP I ordred. But, I am intrested in flying airplanes. I have my eye on the Radian Sailplane http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=PKZ4775 as my first fixed wing flier. My asperations as a pilot aren't too high. I can't, at this point, see myself flying anything that is fast enough to need flaps or scale enough to have retractable landing gear. I can also tell everyone I will be sticking to electric fliers. So, with this in mind, how many channels might I need? I really don't know what channels do what in aircraft so I can't answer this question on my own.
thanks agian,
mike
