I don't know that particular radio. Look in the manual and see if it has helicopter functions. That will tell you. Needs pitch and throttle curves to be usefull. Sorry I can't help more than that. I don't know the JR line.

I fly a raptor 30 with a JR XP642. It's not the greatest radio because I only have 3 point pitch and throttle curves. It does do the job though. The radio will be my next upgrade because I'm not happy with the Idle Up curves. Mine is a fine radio to begin helicopters if you already own it.

If you check your radio manual I am sure you will find that it has the helicopter mixing software in it.

The Hawk is a very good choice in entry level heli's and in Canada the Century heli's are very well priced and very well supported.

Also check the posts here on Raptor clutch problems (e.g. the "Raptor Clutch failed" on this forum on the weekend) and head flutter problems. These are non-issues in the Hawk.

Default JR631

I believe that the JR631 does not have the Helicopter software in it.
6 - six channel
3 - 3 model memory
1 - one type of aircraft (airplane)

To be certain, I would check with Horizon
