I'm thinking of going with this combo kit for the transmitter and receiver. The next question is; do i need to be looking at specific servos to go with this receiver?
If so, again, i need some help. How can i tell they are compatible?
Consider VERY VERY carefully your choice of radios.
Whatever you buy now will force you to stay on that path for a LONG time.
2.4gHz receivers will ONLY work with transmiters made by the same manufaturer.
The only current exception to this are receivers made by JR and Spektrum.
These two brands belong to one company, so the equipement marketed as such is interoperable. JR stuff works with Spektrum, and vice versa.
After you have a 2.4gHz receiver, you'll want to purchase another for your next plane, from the same manufacturer, so you can use your transmitter.
Later you'll own a few 2.4gHz receivers and you'll want to upgrade your transmitter, so you'll try to stick with that manufacturer so that you can use what you own.
So you're now somewhat stuck on this path.
If need be, save up some cash for a computer controlled transmitter.
One good transmitter will last you and service many planes. One cheap one will be tossed out in favor of something better.
