"The old battery for both the servos and the radio are not holding charge anymore, and also the flysky is in my opinion a better setup than the one I received with the plane."

A 1300 lipo weighs 3.4 oz. A 600 nicad weighs 3.1oz. No complexity. Simply plug in the rx wire from BEC to the rx switch. No need to buy another battery..
