@Bigpopa64 I'd go with either the Futaba 3PV or for a few bucks more I'd go with the Futaba 4PLS. I have the Futaba 4PL and absolutely love that radio, best one I've owned to date.

Both the 3PV and the 4PLS supports T-FHSS, S-FHSS, and FHSS. So you're not limited to just one type of protocol. Plus both supports a LiFe battery pack which will far outlast your normal AA batteries.

I went with the 4pls and plan to get temperature telemetry later on. It works great and gives me a chance to get other stuff down the line. Not to mention that I can sell my other radios as the 4pls has a lot of model memory.

Nice choice @Chapel Hill fpv, that 4PLS will be the last radio you'll have to buy for a long long time. Love my Futaba radio!

Yes, I tell all of our new drone pilots the same thing, there are some things you can skimp on like a motor or battery but, do not do what I did and start with a $60 radio. Your radio is not a good choice for skimping, it will cost you more money in the long run.
I started with a $25 hobbyking radio, then when it became clear that it was not up to the job (took a bit of time for my pilot skills to advance enough ) I got a $60 radio. This kept on till I finally got what I wanted to start with, a taranis.
I decided not to repeat the same mistake agian.
One question though, where can you find a stick style ground radio?
