Simple radios can be decent. If it has a dual conversion receiver and nicads, you will probably always have a use for it. I have been in this hobby since 1984 and I keep messing around with simple airplanes and radios, whether I also have a contest setup at the time or not. A Hitec 3 channel with a 555 RX is probably perfectly adequate. I have several Vision 4 channels, but they aren't made anymore. Besides, which tx would you rather drop when you hurl an hlg and slip on the wet grass! BTW, all those bells and whistles are distracting!
If you must keep up with the Joneses, please ignore the above. P.S. which glider?
