Default RE: Getting Back Into RC

I must admit, though, I have two Airtronics and two Spektrums. I think they are the greatest.. of course I do.. But, you can't go wrong with the RDS8000.

There was a deal a short time back that Tower sold the RDS8000 with two receivers. Not a bad deal if you can still find it. The radio is STILL a great deal regardless.

One thing may interest you to know. The radio systems will work with pretty much any of the name brand servos. That means if you have Futaba servos, Airtronics servos, and, say Hitec servos, you can use any of them on the receivers of pretty much any of the "big three" systems. In fact, I have one plane with a low torque Airtronics for the throttle, two digital Spektrum servos for the ailerons, and high torque Aitronics for the elevator and rudder.

My "second" plane was a Tiger 60. Great plane to make the move from high wing to low wing. I also have a Goldberg Wildstick. Hmmm.. fun to fly. A tad light, though.
