I am about to buy a new radio. These two models seem to be about what
I want, but which one do I choose?
I understand there won't be many who have tried both, so my questions

The thread above on Lipos and speed controllers illustrates both the
problems facing newcomers to electric flight and also the help which others

After 30 years, I'm back into modeling, but I've never done
RC.  I've been using the G3.5 simulator and can now do touch
and go's at will, so I've decided to make the leap into an
airplane.  I'll be joining a club and flying at their field
