Need an opinion on a radio!

[uss silversides]

I think I've found a radio that I can afford]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCJG8**&P=7[/url]

I know that is preferable to have a radio with more channels than just four, but I'm working off a small budget.

So could you just tell me if this radio is good enough quality? (that way I can finish my sub and stop asking the board all these questions )

Thanks,
Jon

Rechargeable batteries for the flight

Rechargeable batteries for the flight pack and transmitter are better than using disposables...but if you're on a tight budget...

Yes, matter of fact, I do have some Nicads sitting around.
