Default Copterx 2.4 radio or 'old' Futaba FF7?

I have ordered a Copterx 450 Pro RTF and wondered if I should use the radio that comes with it (2.4gz) or try and set it up with my old 35mhx FF7?

I have heard there is no glitching with the newer 2.4 stuff which might help me as a beginner heli pilot.

If niether of the above can anyone recommend a decent but cheap 2.4 TX (Spektrum 6i??)

Thanks

The CX-CT6B radio as often supplied is a rebranded FlySky 6B radio ... it is a perfectly capable radio ...

It is programmed by USB connector to PC ....

The Rx should be directly capable of binding to the 9X 8ch FlySky / Turnigy radio with full programmability / mixing etc. far outstripping a DX6i ...

Personally - having bought an RTF myself .......... more than a year later - I still fly my 450 on the RTF 6ch radio.
But I'm sure others are going to advise you otherwise !!

Thanks, if it works for you it should be fine for me. Its always a worry when you buy RTF.
