Mmm I went ahead and ordered a Mini-Pulse XT, can't go wrong at that price it seems. If I crash i'll just blame you all

Also, it didnt say in the specs page, but I presume a normal size receiver can fit right?
I also got tempted and ordered a Slo-V RTF, it'd be great to have something I can fly literally right outside my house
The Mini-Pulse XT will hold a normal 7-or-8 Channel receiver without any problem. Buying a nice 6-channel computer radio like the Hitec Optic Sport or JR Sport SX600 will only cost you a little more than a basic 4-channel radio, but give you much more room to go. Congratulations on a very nice airplane!
TakingFlight96, congratulations to you on your Phoenix Dolphin. It's a really great value for a top-quality low wing trainer and it's nice to see it becoming more popular as word gets out. Have fun!
