Thanks for the input guys.

Espeefan, I think that Futaba 12FG is exactly what I'm looking for but with price tag that one will have to wait until I get a more serious model to put it in like an excavator or dragline.

I'm looking at the Spektrum and Futaba 7 channels right now. If Im reading it right the Heli radios don't have a ratched stick which I'm thinking would be more ideal for what I have on mind.

Thanks again for the help.
