Or you can get an ARF and ask for help with the assembly, and buy electronics that are both re-usable and expandable. Expandable meaning a transmitter that is model memory capable. Then all you have to do is buy receiver packs (receiver and servos and a battery pack) for your frequency (if 72 MHz), or something like the Spektyrum DX7 or Airtronics RDS8000, or Futaba FASST systems. All of these can be expanded using the original TX.
