Although I have a Futaba 4 channel controller sitting around(the old one) I think I'm gonna go with the Hitec one just because of the good words I've read about it(optic 6) and because I can get it on a great price at about 60 bucks off right now. Still not sure about the aircraft yet though.

I'm on the fence on whether or not to get the arrow from Hangar 9. The one thing I've read about the Tiger is that it comes with the connecting rods preinstalled with only a need to put the servos in and the engine. I also saw that it has bolt on wings. The advantage to the Arrow is it's the semi-semetrical wing and I guess that will allow for a little growth. I believe my first aircraft(the one I no longer have because of a mishap(crashed it into the forest cause I thought I was over clear field but my depth perception was off and going under the treeline when that's happening is not a good thing) was semi semetrical. Actually it kind of reminded me of one of those sticks with a tad of dihedral...
