Hi,
I'm planning on jumping into the hobby in the near future. I've never horsed around with R/C anything before (although I ran a Lionel O-scale setup with my dad when I was younger). I really enjoy scratch-building (I used to be an avid tabletop miniature gamer when I had more free time).
Things I'd like to do in RC flying:
Things that seem like logical things that I want to expand into in the future:
I'd rather get a Radio that gives me the option to grow for some time to come. I've done some casual browsing, and frankly, the number of possible radios and manufacturers is overwhelming. Would the members of the community be so kind as to help narrow it down a bit?
I've probably missed some critical information, so please fire away with questions too!
Cheers,
Darcy

Things I'd like to do in RC flying:
- scratch-build (a must!)
- mess around with simulators during the winter
- fly with my sons (currently 7 and 9yo)
Things that seem like logical things that I want to expand into in the future:
- room to grow in terms of # of channels
- telemetry
