Sanwa DASH twin stick unit. I always liked the JR Beat2 radio though.

Just like many of you, I started with a Magnum Jr. I still have it as matter of fact.

My first radio was an Aristocraft 2 Channel stick radio. They went on to become HiTec. I actually just found one of these radios on ebay recently. I'll have to see if I can snap a picture of it sometime. Here is the receiver for now

First one was in 1978. Single stick Futaba with a slide control sort of like a trim for the throttle. Second was the Futaba box with the wheel and the throttle on the side. I still have 2 of those. They were the old textured aluminum box with the un finished corners. If you weren't carefull you could cut your fingers trying to change the batteries
