I would very much appriciate help in chosing a radio to use for my tricopter build.
I'm building my first *copter, and want a radio which is "future-proof" though not to expensive.
I would also like a receiver which provides PPM directly, so I don't need to hack/convert it...
So far I haven't found any good lists of transmitter/receivers, just a bunch of hacks and converters one could use to get PPM from different receivers.
Isn't there any PPM ready receivers out there? Been looking at HK, though I can't find receivers stating they do PPM out...
How many channels is minimum/recommended for tri- and quadcopters (and in case of additional channels for future triggers etc, how many should I go for).
Should I go for 35/72MHz or 2.4GHz?? Pros/Cons??
Can someone explain "synthesized" (and pro/con)??
Preferably, I don't want to spend more than 400$ on a complete kit (transmitter/receiver), less if possible.
I guess what I'm asking for is a "radio wrap-up" from someone with a bit of knowledge/experience...
It's a jungle out there

PS. Of course I'm building with MultiWii, which is why I'm posting in this forum

But I've looked through rcgroups.com as well, and I'm still (even more) confused
