Default Batteries and receiver for an Skeeter

Hello!!!!
I already build an Dynaflight Skeeter, but I notice that there is no space for an standard receiver and standard batteries, which are the best batteries for this Kit? Where can I get them?

Any suggestions about the receiver?, all my radios are Futaba

Thank you
Escipion

Default RE: Batteries and receiver for an Skeeter

Escipion:

I'd use one of the small "end connected" receivers like http://www.hitecrcd.com/receivers/show?name=Micro+05S.

I'd get a small 4 cell NiMh battery pack from http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/main.asp?sid=845089&. Use some dowels to simulate the shape of the battery you want to fit where you want is, and get them to build the pack to your specifications. A 300mAh pack should be fine.

For an off/on switch and battery charging, I'd assemble a micro switch/jack like this http://www.hollyday.com/rich/hd/sail...witchjacks.htm

Fly safe, Glover
