... about 'which mode' although it sounds like you have a little hidden joke in there. cheers Andrew.

Yes Andrew - the "which mode?" question is the guaranteed starter to the age-old controversy, as I guess you'll remember.

For what it's worth: If you were a beginner and unsure whether a longer-term attachment to the hobby was going to turn out, then I'd suggest a Spektrum DX6i. But you're not a beginner, and so one of the other options suggested here might be more suitable.

One thing is for sure - in real terms, you're going to pay peanuts for a very flexible and capable system, compared to equipment from a decade ago.

All the best,
Steve
