If you get on EBAY you should be able to get an old JR radio,,, ANY old JR radio,,,, cheap, like 10 r 20 bucks. The radio doesnt even have to work, you dont turn the buddy box on at all, you dont need a battery in it.


Dude, if you need Futaba and you want a RTF trainer system I will put my personal guarantee on the Hobbico Nexstar. As soon as you get it take the little spoilers with all the holes off, take the stall strips off of the leading edge and the little thingy that is suppsed to self right it that hangs off the bottom of the plane,, disconnect that too. All that takes about 2 minutes and then you will have a GREAT RTF trainer setup. I have played it down so I dont seem pushy, but if you want a Futaba compatible RTF trainer the Nexstar is the way to go,,,

JUST remember when you get the plane,,, as with all planes check to make sure all of the hinges are properly glued in and get your trainer person to make sure you have the radio gear and linkages installed properly and you will LOVE this plane. One of my trainees that was a fast learner has one of these and he is doing all but hovering the thing. Loops, rolls, spins, inverted flight the Nexstar will do all the basic acrobatic maneuvers when you are ready for it.

Take all that crap off of it and it is a great 1st plane,,, as good as any..

The engine that comes with it is a quality engine,, and the radio gear although very simple is good stuff, more than enough to fly this plane.
