100% agreement with John, although ALL my radios are still 72MHz. Planes great with 4 channels, and the 6exap radios a good one, no problem there. The xmtr battery will definitely come out, but you have to take the back off the radio to get to the plug - it's in the center of the radio.

Let me give you a heads-up on a couple items on the plane itself though. IF the "trainer" LE slats are still on it you're going to find that she's a bit sluggish in (aileron) turns. She WILL do most basic maneuvers that way but they tend to be a bit sluggish. We replaced the aileron servo arm (ours has a single center-mounted aileron servo) with a straight one (stock uses a "bent" one with diminished aileron movement capability) and it got a whole lot better. Once the LE slats were removed she became quite the lively bird. Still flying after more than 10 years.

Also, IF the "trainer" flaps are still on her, AND YOU DECIDE TO REMOVE THEM AFTER FLYING THE PLANE, be sure to re-position the elevator to center flat. With the flaps on, the elevator actually points down a bit to fly the plane flat and level. When my son-in-law first removed his flaps (without re-centering the elevator) he had the most exciting initial lift-off I've seen in years, and no amount of elevator trim on the transmitter even came close to helping. There's a lotta lift in those flaps.

One other item, and this is MY OPINION only. I've been flying a long time and, TO ME, she seems a bit "heavy". She's well-powered but sometimes just seems to fly like a tank. It could easily be just me, I'm more used to the way a SIG Kadet Mk-I & Mk-II (4-ch with Fox.45), CG Sr Falcon (with OS.46AX) or SIG MidStar-40 (OS.46AX) flies, and they're all somewhat more responsive. We put a 10x6 3-blade prop on our bird and she improved even more - she's a pretty good flying bird now. Also, my own argument to how she feels to me is that she'll float all day on landings - and that's not a sign of "heaviness".

I'm sure you're going to enjoy her though. Looking forward to the flight reports.
