RE: Xplane Unveiled

Not the B58, but somewhat similar to the EB-66. It would only need to have the wing shoulder mounted and the jets on pylons. But, it is a beautiful aircraft. Would love to buy plans for it.

RE: Good all around transmitter?

While you are looking at Spektrum and Futaba, make sure you look at the Hitec Aurora 9. I have one and I love it. Comes with great documentation and has worked flawlessly.

RE: i Charger 106b+ will not go into LiPo mode

You shouldn't be using a charger to power it, use a car battery or a good 12V supply (actually about 13.8V). That charger puts out a pulsating DC, not a pure DC voltage.
