Thanks for all the options, you guys are a wealth of knowledge! The flysky looks great with a lot of features for the price, how common are software/firmware issues with these? Is there good support for issues when they arise? I have the worst luck with things working properly as soon as there is a screen on it.
I like the idea of dual rate, even the RTF radios have that, but how necessary is expo really? Is it like video games where 20 years ago we said "this game is awesome! its so realistic!" but today playing the same game people say "these graphics suck, this in unplayable"? Like the same game had changed and gotten worse, when really expectations just changed. Did everybody in the hobby complain about their twitchy transmitters before expo was invented? I'm fine with "old school" equipment/technologies, I'm the kind of guy that drives a manual, shoots black powder guns, shaves with soap and a brush, uses kerosene lanterns, and sharpens my own pocket knife, all more difficult to learn but IMO, better.
