Radio Purchase decision time

[BrianG]

Note that the newer version of the Spektrum DX3 has a 4 model memory, although many local places I've seen still have the old model.

For future reference; I got an extra receiver with mine and just the receiver was about $80. With comparison to the price of a full package set (transmitter, 2 receivers, 2 servos, odds and ends), I would have expected to pay about $50-$60 tops. Oh well, no one said this hobby was cheap.

If model memory is a consideration, I'd go for one of the Nomadio systems. It's said they can use the Spektrum receivers if tiny size is important. I've invested too much in my radio to justify switching just for more model memory...
