Thanks for all the input.... and based on your comments, I am leaning towards the Futaba 14SGA 14-Channel Transmitter at this time....

Awesome radio, with a tower coupon you can get one for less than $500.00 with free shipping.

As they say, you can't go wrong with too much radio. But you can come up short with too little. I can't imagine much that the 14SGAwon't let you do.

Did you get your new radio? What did you get? What has been your experience?

I have the radio and the ebook. Both are outstanding values and very well done.

I bought the FRSKY Tarunis for $300 less than the Futaba and have a far more capable radio. Actually its more comparable to the $3000 Futaba.
FRSKY has been use by a number of high tech organizations for a number of years and found to be high quality.
