RE: Ok time for suggestions
I had a Futaba 7C, liked it, but sold it to upgrade to a JR X9303, which I like even better. I sold my 7C for what I paid for it, but threw in an extra receiver and a case - for $300 - and bought the X9303 with a 9 channel reciever for only a couple hundred more. It's also nice with a JR or Spectrum if you like any of the bind and fly airplanes.
