Flysky FS-I6 is better at much lower price around 4k. There is also a very good radio from RCBAZAAR that is 10 channel telemetry radio avionic rcb os-10 at rs.7300. According to the reviews it seems to be pretty good at that price range.

@prabal276,
Good to see you deleted your post.
I was going to warn you against posting on public forums opinions based on hearsay.
How many hours did you test the radio?
How many hours RCB might have tested it?
What would you do if tests proved you wrong and you faced a lawsuit for loss of reputation?

Your opinion has already affected at least one new aeromodeller.
I have advised him to do step by step tests to identify his problem.
If then he finds that range was short, he can take it up with RCB.
Meanwhile RCB is already advising him, and have asked for the Rx to be returned for checking.

Before blaming a radio for loss of range, there are many things to be checked, like battery voltage in tx and rx (under load), whether either antenna wire was broken accidentally etc.

Let us just be careful that any opinion we share, we are able to back up with personal experience and data that can be verified independently by others.
Regards.

Iyer sir;
Checked again today;
Getting short range.
Less than 100 meters.
WE tested it in the ground today morning.
Father was on the phone and after 88-93 meters there was complete range loss.
I am in touch with RCB.
All the batteries were charged and other than me;
Suyash and Tanmay mathur are also facing range issues with the RCB 6i
Regards

If any issues contact us first rather than ranting out here and spreading negativity. Let me be very clear here, if you think that writing on the forum here will solve your issue with us.... You are wrong.
First, contact us and let us take further action on this.

 You have been using the tx for a year and was fine till date right ??? So how is that this issue has come up now? 
And if Suyash or Tanmay have problems they will contact us rather than you being their spokesman.
The team had specifically asked you with clear instructions on how to send the tx and rx back for testing. Do that first and let's talk here later

It depends on what kind of aircraft you expect to be flying. If you are only flying planes (and smaller ones at that), it is a decent option. However, the user interface is not very good, programming is quite limited, and it is not upgradeable. I was also not too happy with the quality of the gimbals. The FlySky i6 is probably a better option. The RCB6i was my first radio as well but I ended up selling it and upgrading to a Turnigy 9XR within a few months.

If you are planning to fly multirotors, with your budget, I would recommend the Flysky/Turnigy 9x. It is pretty good for the price (though the stock RF Module is quite bad) and you can gradually upgrade it as your skill level/ requirements increase. You can add a FrSky module for improved range, modify the radio to get telemetry and flash more powerful firmware such as er9x/ OpenTX. An even better option is a 9XR/ 9XR Pro with a FrSky module though you will have to increase your budget. The best radio in this class is probably the FrSky Taranis.
