This.
I had a FS for several months and it was ok but frustrating. Had to swap out the voltage regulator for real battery life ($10 plus about an hour). The firmware was a total joke- certain features didn't work and certain settings didn't hold between models. Yeah, you can fix that but it's time and money.
I blew it out and bought an Airtronics; once I did that I stopped thinking about my radio and that was worth quite a bit to me.
There are several good entry-level radios in the $100-$150 range; look here if you're on a budget, or buy a quality radio used and you'll not lose much money on it if you decide RC isn't for you.
