Do I need a separate transmitter?
Reviewer consensus
It depends on the model. RTF (Ready-to-Fly) kits like the Blade mCX Anniversary and the RC ERA C184 include a transmitter. BNF (Bind-N-Fly) models like the Blade Fusion 360 Smart BNF require a compatible Spektrum-protocol radio, plus a battery and charger. Reviewers in helicopter forums note that buying a full-size computer radio significantly improves the experience even on entry-level models.
