Default RE: electric or gas.

er no i dont think so.. but i cant be totally sure

however

if you intend to get into RC bit by bit then you can buy a propper radio from the get go

" A stand alone"

Most usually come with servos aswell i think.. but you may need to get your frequency crystal seperate!


lest see what towerhobbies have got there
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/listings/cat-j.html

id get a 6 channel one for starters but i have no idea how deep your gonna go so you decide if you want more channels..

ill proly stick to foamy's......... maybe haha.. you never know..

thinking really hard about getting the US Aircore colt 40 and stepping up the power with a .61 engine
cuz i read its a heavy plane and needs power.. ill need to ask round on here to see if that feasable

here are the links in case your interested

engine

colt 40
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXKH28&P=ML

it can be built as a tail dragger which is what id do if i got it.


Here you see the updated Tx of the one which i have
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXKAJ1**&P=0

i have the discontinued Futaba 6exa which i got from someone here on Rc universe actually..

no servos but they were kind enough to let me have the crystal (thank you so much!)
in the end i only payed 80USD for it and to me that was a great deal (but im a noob what do i know right?)

if cost is a serious factor id recomend getting a second hand one on here from someone in the classifides..

but keep in mind that if your gonna go with a bigger gas model later on it might be cost effective to get a new on with servos and all.


For me, i just got the Tx seperate then im gonna get a buddy cord and some kinda usb adapter for the flight sims
