Your radio is 72mhz (antenna about 3 feet long) I'm guessing? A Futaba or Hitec receiver will work. Some guys use the cheap Chinese servos and say they haven't had any problems, but when you figure how much a replacement airframe costs saving $20 on servos doesn't make sense. I'll second the vote on Hitecs. They don't cost much and you can trust them. Buy quality batteries too if you haven't already. If your equipment is used, I would assume that the batteries are no good unless you put them on a cycler to check them out.
www.hangtimes.com is the vendor I use, and I'm very impressed with the quality you get for the price.
Yes, it's a 72mhz radio, and i have decided to go with HS-81 servos, as per Mike's advice. Thank you for the help.
