I know you already have it and it will probably work fine. I just play the odds. If it were mine, I would put the used radio in the Air Scout for your friend to fly and pick up a new radio for you. But again, that is just me. The Skylark is going to be bigger, faster and potentially more dangerous. I'd want the best chance of success with it.

As for the tiger. Can you find and "Tigger" toys maybe at a toy store". I saw some cute ones on Somegeeks build thread earlier today I think. They're out there I'm sure, gonna be in toy stores most likely
