Redcatmcd, Oh, and I forgot to mention that the stock supplied 1300 mAh battery is also more than enough, no up grade required here but you should buy a extra battery so you can have one battery charging while you are flying the other. Mine was a bind and fly version as I already had a Spektrum DX7, so I know nothing about the TX that comes with the ready to fly version. If you're on a budget you might consider the ready to fly version with the TX as it is only $50 more. Not fancy but I bet it flys it. Good luck.
