Ok gents. I am almost COMPLETELY new to the RC world. Basically i need an overview and assistance on all of my stuff. I'm kinda like that annoying kid that alwase wants to play.
So here it is. A couple years ago, i got a Corsair nitro (glow plug) RC plane at a raffle. It came with a 6DA Futaba FM transmitter, as well as (get ready for the list of your lives) a hitec RCD 3500 reciever 72 MHz dual conversion, two hitec hs-300 servos, an on/off switch with battery/charge/reciever cables,three battery packs, two for the reciever, and one for the plane, and a charger. a couple of weeks ago i got interested in it again, so i bought a super cub trainer. (electric motor). I had some fun with it , crashed it, replaced some parts, then destroyed it. in my defence it was a REALLY windy day. lessons learned and i canabalized it for all of the stuff out of it. Today I got curious and started looking at the corsair. I pulled the wing section off and to my surprise found a completely functional reciever system with three servos and another on/off switch. The setup is as follows: Futaba FP-R127DF and three Futaba S3004 servos. Now the plane itself isnt in working condition, whitch is good because i probably would've already murdered it, whitch would be bad because it is a REAL rc plane with a wooden internal structure.

My questions: Should i buy a new electronic setup?, where can i go to get this thing fxed, which reciever system should i use, how do i find out if there is a club nearby?

I would LOVE any, and i mean ANY guidance that you can offer. I am open to suggestions.

Thanks, John<br type="_moz" />
