For futaba, it is cheaper to get the 4 channel radio with servos and reciever and battery than it is to get the flight pack. You don't have to use the radio and even better can give it to the club to use as a buddy box. BTW, they ship the 4 channel radio with an 8 channel reciever. Go figure. So you can get an 8 channel flight pack for less than and 8 channel flight pack costs.

I am not sure why they do this, but alas they do.
