While I am not in much of a position to give advise, I can say what I got for my first setup.

GP PT-40
Thunder Tiger pro 46
J.R. 632 radio (6 channel,3plane memory)

Second set up

CG Tiger 2
O.S. 46 FX
A second J.R. 632 (now I am buddy box self sufficient)

Good luck with your choices, and I would have to agree with the others, a 61 is WAYYYYY to big for that plane.
