Hobby People have the Airtronics VG6000 for $130.00. It a basic computer radio with some mixing and 4 model memory. Comes with all batteries and (4) servos.

It is a good in between radio. It does not do swash mixing for CP helicopters, but for planes it should do most of what you need. I have a couple Vanguard's still in the air. I am also flying my Radiant 6 channel, (2) RD6000 and (2) RDS8000 and soon a 10 channel from Airtronics. To me, Airtronics has the best BANG for my hard earned BUCK.

P.S. I can not say enough about the RDS8000. It is a good deal. You can might not need them now, but you just might need all of its features in the future.
