Radio Equipment

Radio equipment today is all of good quality. The biggest thing to do is make sure it is compatible with your instructor’s equipment so you can plug it into a buddy box. All you need for your first radio is a basic 4-channel FM radio. You don't need a computer radio for your first model. Spend your money on fuel. There is nothing wrong with computer radios, but its one more thing that you have to learn about, and all the nice functions that come with a computer radio won't be utilized on your trainer. Computer radios are also harder to make work properly with a buddy box. The most popular radios at LCRC are Futaba compatible (Futaba, Hitec, Towerhobbies) and JR.
