I have to say, I really like the idea of getting the lower end Focus III SS as a first run radio. I know a lot of folks tell you "get the most expensive radio out there because you will eventually buy it anyway" (which I recently did...though not the most expensive). However, for the first timers, its a much better path to get into the hobby cheaply and then determine whether you will stick with it. Its analogous to getting the most expensive golf clubs, then after a season, realizing you don't want to do it anymore. There you are, stuck with this ritzy set of clubs gathering dust in the garage. If the new flyers stick with the hobby, THEN they can invest. Those that don't havent lost much on the attempt. Besides, if you do fly slope combat, your going to destroy your equipment anyway, right? Greg RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
