a full radio set and flight pack with a 4 ch receiver with no expansion capabilities is what you get, that was my point.
if you already have a comp. radio then do you need a charger and a inferior reciever? to each his own of course.
for me it works buying a flight pack for each plane with a 7 or 8 ch reciever.
most of my planes require at least 5 to 7 servos. 4 don,t get it done except for my trainer which has not been flown for a while, all my other planes require more channels than 4 . I have 2 chargers and rarely do I need to use more than one at a time.
this subject was beaten to death 2 months ago on another thread
I am sure it was, I may just look it up, As you say each to there own of course, I will be making this purchase soon as I need only 4, I have done a lot of research (examining everything included), that 4 channel radio comes with the 7 channel receiver (R127DF) my 6 channel comp radio came with, plus I do see a need for me to have a spare TX battery and charger so I really like the idea, of course if I need more the 4 servos I still have to buy the extra, but for me, it works out that 7 channel is still more than I can use. If you get a 7 channel receiver and all the other things from a flight pack for less you can always sell the charger and tx or donate to your local club etc.
I am not trying to tell other people what to do, but I was trying to give information, this is just a place to give information it is upto the readers to decide which to follow if any.
Now I think we have done this one to death.
