Default need a cheap CCPM radio.

Hello, I just bought a Raptor 30 heli w/o engine and radio. I bought a OS .32 engine and now I need a radio. I don't have very much to spend since I spent most of it on the heli. I have the servos and rx and need a tx only. which one would be good for heli's? I was looking at the optic 6 tx and some JR ones but I dont want to buy something that sucks or is low quality. I have a budget of 100ish but I could go up a bit(just gotta wait which sucks. [&o]).

I'll post pictures once I'm done building my Raptor


thanks all

It'll be hard to find anything for around $100 unless you look for something used. There are always good deals on the marketplace here or on e-Bay.

BTW, the Raptor doesn't use CCPM, it's a mechanically mixed heli.

You always need to be thinking ahead in this hobby though. I also have a Hornet 2 that I'm dieing to get the 120 degree CCPM CNC machined head. Only thing setting me back is the radio. I could sell the Hornet and get a better radio but I love how you can fly it indoors like a gym or even kitchen.

thanks for the replys

The Futaba 7C will do 120 CCPM and has five point curves. If you can get your hands on one of those, it should last you a while.
