Hi,

Thank you for your response, yes that is exactly what I am building, looks like I am using the same motor/gearbox combined as you, but the props I am using are foam ones from a twin rotor heli as 2 rotors have to spin opposite directions to stop the torque spin. I am happy to buy a radio if it will do the job, not too sure if the sanwa rd6000 or futaba ff6xs will work, possibly the ff9 will but at that price i would expect it to.

I would love any info you could provide as this will save me time going up the wrong route. I have built the centre pod out of balsa soaked in superglue as I dont want to build anything too complex if i have to cut bits off here and there and add bits etc. the 4 main spans are carbon fibre tubing. The battery is a lithium polymer 1020mh 11.1v. I have also bought 2 gyros for stability in the roll and forward/backward planes.
I can buy a 4 channel sanwa transmitter for £30uk about $45. not too sure which way to go
