Hey,
I am wanting to know the usefulness of the hobbyking radio. I am helping someone build their first quad (on a tight budget) and wondering if anyone can comment on these radios.

He wants it under 200, and right now with everything it should put him at 144...or 160ish with shipping.
I dont want to get him something bad either. I dont know if he will get into fpving the thing, but if he does, couldnt he just get the FRsky DIY mod to replace the RF board? I mean, I think this radio would work fine for someone entering the hobby. But I personally have not used it, and know nothing about it.
