Default Using a commercial controller to build a RC plane

Hello!
I've just hopped in to the whole rc world so this is all very new to me, just a warning :P

Currently I'm trying to build my own rc plane. I was about to purchase a 2.4ghz radio controller when I remembered I already had one already from a Quadcopter I bought recently.

http://www.amazon.com/UDI-U818A-2-4G...2&keywords=udi

I was wondering if I could use that remote to control my rc plane. All I know about the controller is that it runs off a 2.4ghz radio chip. (see image below)
Would this work?

Thanks,
Cole

not easily.

receiver is embedded in quad... you'd have to dissassemble.

I highly doubt receiver has connectors for a servo setup as you'd have in your plane. If you have some engineering background you could try it... but your honestly better off buying one intended to fly airplanes.

No.
That is toy-grade . Not only can you not get another receiver to work with the transmitter ,you also would not be able to program it properly.
