I am starting to get into RC hobbies now that I have a CNC capable to produce all of the parts on a very reliable basis. I will be building a quadrotor heli sometime soon for a camera platform, and looking at the Futaba 7C radio.

Many of my CNC friends have RC as a hobby, and I have a little micro-heli that is loads of fun to fly

I have always wanted to do that!!!!! I still long for an RC helicopter. Not a small dinky one, but a good-sized Chinook or something :hsugh:

I have a blade mcx that is hella fun. Futabas are nice but if you're just screwing around a cheap flysky will probably work just fine

Not planning on screwing around, this will be a expensive camera platform with full autonomous mode as well. Will be used more than just for fun
