Radio choices

Hi,Another noob here :)As far as a new project is concerned, I can buy a new radio and servos for a Superstar with a .40, but later want to expand to a Cessna Skymaster 337. Want to use Ardupilot. What radio will be a good choice? The Skymaster has 10 Servos and need at least a 6 channel radio?Do I use digital servos?RegardsSarel WagnerCenturionSouth Africa

    I use the Futaba 7C (also 2.4). It's okay...I don't love the interface, but it's seems pretty solid.

    We prefer 900Mhz for telemetry and downloads, so 2.4Ghz isn't a problem on the RC gear.

    That will be a leap upto the Skymaster, but in SA, JR radios have quite a strong hold so anything from their range is good.

    Personally I would stick to 35Mhz in order to allow you to use 2.4Ghz downlinks for video or whatever in the future.

    Cheers
