It would be my bet that if you talk with the folks at Horizon they would put you together a package with micro or sub-micro servos and a 610M micro receiver. This would shave about three ounces off your plane and make it that much more flyable.

If Horizon won't do it for you try ChiefAircraft www.chiefaircraft.com I have some friends who have been very pleased with their support.

From what I can see, going from four standard servos to two micro servos could even save you a few bucks.

Ohh man this more harder then i thought, ok dividinmi, based on your suggestion instead of going through all he hassle, i am now thinking of doing it like this. Buy the Futaba 7CA radio (without servos, just the radio) which comes out to be 150 on www.servocity.com then buy the slow stick flight pack which is 72.99 on www.horizonhobby.com and the slow stick which is 35$,buy the same charger from www.towerhobbies.com which is 40. So here it is the new plan.

Radio: Futaba 7CA 149.99$
Airplane: Slow Stick 35$
Flight Pack: Futaba slow stick flight pack 72.99$
Charger: Hitec CG 340 39.99$

Total = 297.99$

This way i save few bucks, get the micro servos, which will make the slow stick lighter and hopefully flight better. What do you guys think of the new plan, will this be enough to get me in the air????
