any comments on this kit?

You defiantly want to avoid flysky radios and receivers. You could get that and upgrade as you get the money, but I would strongly suggest against that radio, unless you make a fail-safe for it.
 
What's wrong with the flysky stuff? I have a flysky fs-i6 and matching receiver? Works fine for me.........
Is there something wrong with these that i should know about lol

Flysky or Frysky?, anyways their cheaper stuff don't always have fail-safes, if you loose signal your out of luck, it will continue on. Ad they are cheap knockoffs of Frysky.
 
That's what I've got and I've had no problems with it. I've lost sight of my quadcopter before the radio lost signal

There is nothing wrong with it, it seems to get overlooked but it's a rather sophisticated transmitter considering it's low price. The backlit LCD, twin antennas on the RX for diversity and cheap PPM with iBus port RXs can be had, and various telemetry modules are a nice touch.

Failsafe he said?

The one quirk that throws folks is to save, press 'cancel'.

BTW if you get the cable you can update your FW to the latest 1-12-2015 version.

Well I thought it was a really good unit for the price. My dads been flying helicopters for nearly 20 years. He now has a transmitter worth nearly £2k, and yet he says the fs-i6 is pretty good. More than adequate for a 250 quad racer lol
 
Well do go into it and and at least set your throttle to 'ON" pressing 'cancel' when done.
