glowplug,

When you mentioned 4-channel transmitter. Can you run 5 servo's on a 4 channel? I noticed that my Trainer plane requires a 4 channel-4 servo setup & the Big Stix I purchased requires a 4-5 channel radio/with 5 std. servos. I was looking at a VG400 4-Channel FM Radio system spec's are as follows (VG400, RECEIVER 7-channel FM DC Micro Servo(Qty)4 (94102Z or a Hitec Laser4 4-channel FM/4 HS-322 Servo's, ? you add a 5th servo to this setup. I would love to buy the high end type radios, but I've got a wife due to have us a little girl in about a month and a 9 year old; so my budget is a little confined. I would just love to take the baby steps and get us flying in the Trainer & progress from there. I wouldn't mind purchasing a used radio etc. Anyway, I appreciate all the good information....Bravesfan
