Default Why bother with a flight pack?

Minn, you make a good point. A flying buddy of mine that has a 6XAS has never used it for fear of selecting the wrong model! (even after I spent an hour setting up 4 of his planes in it one day!)
I put small numbers on my planes to signify what number in memory they are.....also, I have a list taped to the back of my TX with the model numbers and plane names.....and I look at it every time just to be sure!

For you 40-60 sized flyers that are just looking for flight packs, check out www.spectrumhobbies.com
I've bought a couple of flight packs off of this guy on Ebay before, and he also sells online. A Hitec flight pack w/ a shift selectable rx (works with JR & Airtronics too) with 4 HS 425BB servos, switch & battery goes for $105 shipped.....PLUS, he includes a 12" extension and the rx crystal.....pretty good price! He also has the same pack with 5 servos for $115.
