Part of the 27mHz band is for surface and airborne use. Obviously yours is for airborne. The Xmitter and RX should be adaptable for some other use even if the servos are not. If you only want, or need, 3 channels Hitec makes a Focus 3 in Am and FM. It is a single stick radio with throttle control on a slide switch. The FM, which I use, also has servo mixing for V-tail operation. A brand new Focus 3FM is only $84.99 from most on line sites. It comes complete with Xmitter nicads and charger, feather RX and 2 hs 55 mini servos. Personally I only use it for park flyers and such. If you are in the position of needing a new radio think about at least a four channel FM that will take a buddy box. A 6 channel would be even better as it will be usable for whatever airplane you decide to build or assemble, even park flyers if you go for ultra lite RX's and mini servos that are available as flite paks from several suppliers such as GWS, Hitec and others. The Hitec flight pak for the Focus 3 is about 62 bucks from most online sites.
