My husband flys RC jets. He has the really nice Spektrum Dx7 (which is one NICE transmitter). However, we also have G scale trains running on transmitters. This unit is great for the trains which require the Spektrum Dx5 receiver. For $99 you get the receiver ($70 alone) AND the trasmitter too. That's really a good deal. It's comfortable to work with. The battery remaining lights are helpful. My only actually beef is that you use AA batteries rather than rechargeable (that would be optional batteries and an optional charger). However, those 4 AA batteries DO last a LONG time. While I would be OK running a park flyer on this, I wouldn't choose this for more intense aircraft. It is kind of basic when compared to the Dx7 in quality, controls, etc. As for trains, this is just super. It is what it is and if your use is for it, it's perfect. I am really having a blast with it on the trains.
