Default Radio / Servo / Batt Question

What's a lightweight radio (4ch), servo and battery (lithium ?) recommendation for a .010/.020 plane to work with my Futaba 72 MHz transmitter?

Thanks,

I'm going to assume it's an FM transmitter.

Here's what I'd use:
Either a Hitec Electron 6 RX

or Hitec 555 RX

Hitec HS55 Servos

You need a 4.8v battery pack so you wont be able to use Lithium which is only in multiples of 3.6v.

Radical RC has 2 NiMH packs that would be suitable. Either the RRC-120 4.8V or the Radical RC 300mah 4 Cell 4.8 V pack should do fine.

Bipe,

Thanks for the info. Yes, it is a FM system. I'll go for the 6RX.
