Hi mate the hubsan can not use any transmitter other than what it comes with , as for a good one for a build well its up to you really and what you want it to do , spektrum/futuba /turnigy x9 are all good , x9 can use different protocol , they are all full range so will fly out of line of sight up to 2km approx you need min of 4 channels , the spektrum DX6i is cheap at the moment due to the new one out now so under a £100 , i have the dx6i and the dx9 i fly scale helis so my quads fly on the dx9 too , the dx6 is used as buddy box so i can teach my wife to fly
What you want to do is go to a model shop and ask to look at the transmitters once you hold one your know if its right for you by the feel , better transmitters have better gimbals my dx9 flys nicer than my dx6i but cost wise it a £80 dx6i and a £300 dx9 so its nicer plus the dx9 can have new firmware flashed to it from the horizon hobby site hope this helps
