Default A Good Heli Radio?

I was wondering what would be a good radio with some nice features and is fairly inexpensive (say around 200 range) would be? I have looked at some of the JR radios and the Futaba radios so far, but I still don't know. Thanks for all your help!!

JR 6102, around $250. I use a JR8103 and highly recommend it, but it is about $400.

Good luck and have fun.... stay safe !

I'm using the 6102 now. I think i paid 240$ for it with PCM reciever 1100 Mah batt and 537 servos. Nice, simple and effective radio. only a few switches that are right where i want them and you can assign functions to each, 8 character model names, 8103 style 5 point curves.... lots of good stuff. the only limitation to be aware of is there are not enough chanels to run a governor if you want to.
