Default suitable aerobird flight pack

Hi All,

I'm strictly a beginner but having loads of fun flying my aerobird challenger. It's the 2nd fuse as one of the servos is dead in the old one. After doing lots of reading on the forum and seeing some of the modifications many folks have made to this plane, I decided to try and resurrect the old fuse by keeping the motor and purchasing a mini flight pack.

Why bother? I like the way the aerobird flies and like tinkering with things. The exercise will be a good learning experience in electric flight. Using conventional servos with push rods (instead of fishing line) will establish more precise and consistent control.

Anyway, I don't know about flight packs at all. Does anyone have any suggestions for one that would be suitable. And do I need to purchase anything else besides a flight pack to make this scheme work? I plan on using a Futaba 6exa as the radio. (overkill but its the radio I've picked to go with my nitro trainer)

thanks for suggestions.
