 In my opinion, I would only buy a 7e if I was planning to primarily fly micro-helis,​ and wasn't big into lots of 3D trick flying. In my opinion, I would only buy a 7e if I was planning to primarily fly micro-helis,​ and wasn't big into lots of 3D trick flying.

 I think this transmitter is a great deal for the money. The color screen is pretty, and enables a nicer user interface. Quality is generally good. The radio is not too heavy, and balances nicely on a neck-strap. I do almost all of my development using this radio. If you don't expect to need quick-access to additional analog controls, this radio has everything you are likely to need, and I definitely recommend it as a solid buy. I think this transmitter is a great deal for the money.
