RE: Which Radio?
Well let's see in the last week there has been threads on the Aurora and Spectrum causing destruction to big dollar airplanes.
Neither of them radios have impressed me. It all depends on what kind of money you want to spend on your radio.
I am not of the school the more money you spend the better the radio. I have a new 2.4 radio in its second season. I have flown electrics and nitro on it and have not had a single problem of any sort.
It is an off brand radio. the Turnigy 9x, with a HK 2.4 module and flying six different airplanes with this radio. Total cost for everything: Radio, module, lipo battery pack, 6 receivers under $250.00. So it is all a matter of personal preference. I am putting together a big gasser and a ducted fan jet and will use this radio on it. Because it is a tried and true system for me with over 300 flights on various aircraft I am comfortable enough to try it. I will pull two receivers from other planes to do this and install new in the old planes.
Like I said personal preference.
