excuse me if this is the wrong section to ask this. i couldn't find anywhere that sounded familiar to post this in. Well, i was recommended the Slo-V as a park flyer for someone who is just wanting a plane to fly around. my question is, i don't like the transmitter that comes with it so i was thinking of changing it. is it pretty straightforward on the replacement of the receiver or is it a list of complex steps? also, will this work in it? Thanks in advance!

I've had some experience with the Slo-V. It's a good airplane, but with the V-tail, if you choose to put in your own radio gear, make sure you have a transmitter that has V-tail mixing. The rudder and elevator functions will be combined in the transmitter, so when you make control inputs, you get the right reactions from the plane. You'll also have to replace the stock servos; the originals are set up for the Parkzone brick receiver and won't work with standard gear. Not sure about the Fly-Sky radio - again, does it have V-tail mixing? Something like that might not have the features you need even for the simple Slo-V. Take a look at the GWS Slow-stick if you want something that uses conventional controls.

Okay thanks. is the GWS slow stick rtf or do you need to build it?

The GWS Slow-stick is an ARF that does take some building, but it's pretty simple. Use your Slo-V for practice, and install your radio system in the Slow-stick. You can turn up the performance of your Slow-stick with a brushless motor. There are plenty of threads on the many mods that flyers have done to that plane.

okay thanks. so i can buy the radio i want and put it in? does it come with servos, motor, and any other electronic components planes come with? also, sorry if i come back to this forum asking questions on help of how to build it. i do rc cars, and i have never built anything before.

What else do planes do?

Why? It probably works just fine. Also Buying a Tx Rx combo, capable of mixing, is probably gonna cost you many times more than the Slow-V itself. If you just want one plane to putter around with, why bother purchasing extra equipment? Unless you plan to persue other aspects of the hobby.
