Default Radian PNP Reciever?

Hello All!

Looking into getting myself a [link=http://www.ehobbies.com/pkz4775.html?utm_source=pkz4775&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=froogle]Parkzone Radian[/link].

I believe all I need for this plane is Rx and Tx. Correct?

If so, will the [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLSX4&P=ML]Futaba 72-MHz Receiver[/link] I have work with this plane?

you will need receiver, transmitter, battery and charger.

For most people the RTF is the better deal.

I have a 72 MHz Futaba Tx and Rx. Assuming they would work with this plane, all I will need is batteries and Charger?

Note that the stock 3 cell lipo for the radian is a 1300 mah with an EC3 connector that matches the ESC connector.

If you are going to fly the Radian as a TD Glider then you will have the motor off most of the time.  The stock pack provides 6-8 30 scond climbs which is pleanty to get an hour or more of air time.  I think the Motor pulls about 20 amps, so make sure your battery can handle that.

If you have your own lipos, you will need to match the connector on the ESC to your battery connectors.

I just got my PNP Radian, I made a EC3 to Deans adapter, I already have a bunch of batteries the proper size for other planes, all with Deans connectors.
