Question Number 1:
A radio which you will not have to "upgrade" in the future will cost you a chunk of change. Money which at your stage of the game would be better spent elsewhere until you are sure this is your hobby.

If you stay in electrics, a Hitec Flash 5 is a good starting point, but a little expensive for a beginner.

If your insistant on getting a radio which you might not ever need to upgrade you can go ahead and get a Hitec Eclipse, or a Futaba 9C, or a JR8103. But IMHO you don't need any of those right now. They will just be money spent that you could use elsewhere (about $250 to $450). (But of course, you could always step on up to the Futaba 9Z for a mere $1,300)

You'll be better off getting started on an inexpensive 3 or 4 channel and stepping up from there.

Question Number 2:
Most electric Park Flyers are what we call ARF (almost ready to fly). They are not that involved to build. If you really want to avoid the most building, pick something that is mostly foam with good instructions (A GWS Slow Stick is an excellent choice, but it is not "an RTF". There is some building)

Question Number 3:
The battery pack will depend on the airplane/motor. Until you have those, the battery question cannot be answered.

The charger is a different story.

The best charger IMHO is the Schulze. A bottom line Schulze is about $170. There are many good chargers that will allow you to get airborne at a fraction of that cost.

The last question:
Most likely on the micro servos. But again, this depends on the airplane.


My real advice is to go to the Electric Beginners forum and check out the thread on beginners airplanes. It's one of the first threads listed. There are several good threads on different beginner airplanes.

If you have people flying electrics close by I suggest you go see those people. They will be glad to help you and will have a lot of knowledge for you to pull from. They will also tell you what to avoid and what to buy. They will save you money!

Don't get hung up on having "the best" right now. Your not ready for a computer radio yet and are probably at least two years off from seeing any advantage in one.
The same is true with chargers. To drop $170 dollers (or more) on a Schulze at this point in the game IMHO is not the best idea. You will get a better idea what type of flying you want to do as you learn and advance. If all you are going to do is "fly the oval" in a park, you don't need a computer radio and you probably won't need the super charger.
With the advances in electronics, todays best is tomorrows has been. Save your money until you need the features.

I hope this has helped and welcome to the worlds greatest hobby!
