If you do, then go ahead and buy the 4-channel package, but make absolutely sure you're getting the same servos and RX as shown in the flight pack. One digit off in the model no. of an RX and you could be looking at as much as a $50 drop in value. Same applies to the servos.
Be thorough in the examination of the components you're about to plop down your hard earned cash for.
If you're still in doubt after that, give us the specs on what you want and we'll check it out for you.
Good Luck!!
Why would that be the wrong flight pack? Lets assume for the moment that I went the cheap route and got a 4-channel tx for my LT-25, and the flight pack is for my second plane, an Astro-Hog that I spent nine months laboring over while tearing up the sky with my LT-25 (alright, so I'll most likely be tearing up the LT-25 rather than the sky, and it will probably take me more than nine months to build that astro-hog, but this is hypothetical!
)
I haven't bought my radio yet, so I'm still waffling between a 6-channel computer radio and a 4-channel basic one, but I thought one of the big advantages of the 6-channel radio was that I would only have to buy a flight-pack for my second plane rather than a whole new radio... I'm really starting to lean towards just getting a 4-channel for my trainer, and a separate 4-channel for my second plane, and then perhaps moving up to a 6-channel computer radio when I need more than 4 channels (flaps!).
Anyhow, I'm not saying this is the right way to do it, it's just what makes sense from my uneducated newbie point of view. If I'm way off base then please enlighten me!
