about 2 gals $ 3.00 . if you want something big and easy they make a telemaster that would work fine with this or if your going to fly with an instructor thehanger 9 ultra stick is both a great plane for both gentleness and aerobatics a futaba 9c will last you
many many years to come with that radio you can make the airplane as soft as you want or as wild as you want just by dialing it in on the radio and setting up the dual rates. for the better half problem you can do like a lot of guys in our club do
