Wow - that's a bit surprising.  Okay, so next question.  I need a new transmitter then - will i need to replace the receiver, servos, etc. in order for the transmitter and receiver to communuicate or will i be able to just buy a new transmitter?  Can someone recommend a system (or transmitter if that's all I need) that is both inexpensive (as I may just crash this thing 2 minutes into flying it, provided I can actually fly it) and good?
