The best radio to
buy.
The best recommendation when
starting in helicopters is to purchase the best quality radio you can
afford, similar to a computer, buying the basic radio (less expensive 6
channel) now will only take you into the beginning steps and upgrading will be necessary. After the first
season depending on how quickly you become addicted to this hobby, you may
find yourself needing to buy the mid range radio. Right from the
beginning aim for the 8
channel series radios by JR or Futaba, these provide the best features to
price ratio and generally speaking will take you 4-6 years of faithful use
into the future. My preference is JR but I have helped plenty of
Futaba owners over the years and it simply comes down to your personal
choice. Again a question to ask yourself is " Is radio control helicopters is a hobby you have
wanted to pursue a considerable time?", if so then spending the money
now will be one of the best choices you will have made getting into this
great hobby.
