Radio selection is impt for a newbee.... people say its a the only field in rc where u wont repent ur investment..... the more u invest.... the better it is....
here are pros and cons:
Branded : Futaba/ spektrum/ c/a/etc
pros....
1) very good for expensive planes.... no gliches ..... ofcourse unless u r too adventurous
2) very reliable
3) smart resale
4) realy good if u think u r going to go on and on...... will last ages
cons...
1)cost
2)cost
3)cost
4)limited channels.... (for limited budget)
5)u damage parts ...... usually rx . u r like....... :banghead: :banghead:....... :Rs: :Rs: :Rs:
for budget people..... china is like first love
pros...
1)lot of channels ...... for tose how like designing there planes and add extra functions lik bomb doors, cameras, telemetry , lights ... night vision..., flaps , airbrakes ..... the list is only limited to ur imagination
2) cost not issue
3) come with simulator ports good for newbees..... helped me alot
4) u crash .... dont care abt repairs.... go get new one...
cons...
1) not recomended for expensive planes...... glows/gas..... gliches cud be deadly
2) lower channel (lik 4ch, 6ch) ...... poor hardware quality....... not gona survive if u handle rough... cheap plastic.....
3) lower resale if used > 6mths to 1yr
i used 6ch radio Hobbyking for yr or so....
though it had fairly good range ... but had bad gliches specially on lower battery..... had no alarm
my suggestion....
if u r tight budget and u think u r going to last fairly long ........ best bate is turnigy / flysky 9ch
u can comfortably give them 6/5 ....... on value money
good plastic and hardware as compared to china 4ch/6ch....... also superior electronics.....
best features i like is its
1)voltage indicator..... no issues on low battery
2)fail safe .... nice and realy helpful.......... u can get adventurous
some issues regarding where u get them.....
best way... tell ur relative to get it when they travel abroad.. . got mine tis way
LHS : rc bharat and rc bazzar stock them..... others also stock but tey hav higher prices
i also happen to hav a new piece ;D....

avoid ordering them directly from china ..... customs people love them..... very low chance u might get ur piece
getting electronics..... if u gonna order lot of stuff like motor esc batteries prop etc .... go for hobbyking.....
if u need minor componets lik hinges..... go for LHS...... u dont wnna pay 4$ shipping for .4$ item...
