I started with the FFM I think its called, for about 2 minutes and removed it from my computer lol
I then bought clearview, and while it will get the job done.. I wasn't happy, I had read about RF and didn't feel paying almost as much as a heli cost was justifiable, at least not at that time, after all just getting in RC can be very expensive very quickly. So I found Phoenix and saw it was recommended a lot, and the fact it came with a spectrum Tx made it more appealing to me.
I would rather put the extra money towards another heli myself, or battery etc.
But once I have everything I really need <----yea right! then maybe I would change my mind. But I too am not excited about paying for every upgrade .
but that is just my opinion. and we all have them!
Bottom line... we would all rather be outside letting her eat!
