Hi everyone,

Im looking at getting a new plane (My first and current one being the Bix3) and was thinking of getting a better transmitter that i can use for every future plane instead of buying a new one with every new plane.

Can anyone recommend a good one to get? Im looking at getting the Durafly Tundra as my next plane so i need at least 7 channels. Though i do not have too much money to spend on it ($250 for the tunda is a lot of money to me).

If you can post AUS links to any that would be great as i don't want to buy from overseas.

Also im looking in the future at doing FPV flying cause it looks awesome, can anyone recommend a decent setup that isnt crazy expensive like the $400 goggles ive seen.

Thanks for your help.

You can pretty much take your pick on the major manufacturers for a 7-8 channel radio. There really isn't a bad one. On the cheaper end, the FRSky Taranis is really inexpensive and has a big following. It's definitely not as well built as the $400 radios it competes with in terms of the quality of the case and overall durability, but the FPV crowd has proven that it's reliable and has good range. Futaba has a couple of good choices for a bit more money, and so does Hitec. If you can handle the cost of a Hitec Aurora 9, you can get the SLT version which will let you fly all of the Tactic equipped "TxR" planes and also use the inexpensive Tactic receivers. The Aurora 9 is an impressive radio that's been around a long time, but you may not need all of the features it gives you.
