FWIW, the computer radio is not limited to usefulness only with
four-channels and up. Even two-channel setups can benefit from things like
exponential and launch presets.
I started with a Focus 3 on my Zagi. Within five months, I was flying HLG
contests with an RD6000. Outgrew that three months later and now use the JR
XP8103 (I have two). If you take care of your equipment, it's usually not a
problem to resell it, albeit at lower prices than you originally paid.
It's probably not wise to begin with something like a Stylus, but a
lower-end computer radio wouldn't be the worst investment in the world to
start with.
