RE: please comment on this shopping list
Matt-- sounds like that Fatuba may not be what you need. I'd get the Hitec, GWS micro 4 channel reciever, GWS 100 ESC, and think about Li's, E-tec 1200 is now at a real good price.
The GWS reciever has a range of 1000 feet. 200 feet is a long way out for an electric model.
Dont buy the transmitter only. Buy the whole radio, you will have the standard flight pack for a larger plane. At least get the price difference. Should be a good deal.
