hey there. im interested in getting another plane. I already own the flash 5x computer radio.

all i need is some small servos and a recevier, NOT another transmitter.

any advice on where i can get a good deal on this? Id hate to have to buy a transmitters, receviers and servo package since i already have one good transmitter.

thanks!

Check any of the on line or your local hobby store. They should carry what's known as a flight pack.It has a receiver and a servos in it. Just make sure you get one on the same channel as your Tx.
I'm not familiar w/ your radio, but if it can store multiple models you should be just fine.

flyerdarren,
thanks for the reply.
i did a brief check online. most of these packs are more expensive then some packs that come with a transmitter!

and i missing something?

i think its such a waste to pay fora transmitter when i already ahve one that has a 5 model memory.

u know of anything specific?

i appreciate it!

nothing particular, but IMHO when it comes to radio equipment, you get what you pay for. You should be able to get a decent flight pack for around $150.00 with 4 servos.

Do a check at servocity.com .......
They state the price at your door..

You can also watch eBay for servos in particular. It's a little more difficult finding receivers, but....

Futaba Rx's and servos are compatible with your Hitec, and most other servos are as well.

I've seen standard size and torque servos go for $8.00 each, but you're not likley to get any deals on a receiver. Just go to FMA or Servo City, or... for the Rx.
Dennis-

You can get a HiTec flight pack with 4 HS-425BB servos, a Supreme7 RX, cheesy 4-cell 600mAh battery and switch from Tower for $98

Servo city is where I get all my flight packs and radio gear, Free shipping and great prices too, Flight packs have chrystal included also http://www.servocity.com/ServoCity/P...ght_packs.html

You are correct that for the less expensive transmitters, the flightpacks almost cost as much as the TX with the flight pack. You really only start to save money when you get to the point where your "must have" radio is one of the more expensive units. At that point, flight packs start to look like bargains.

That said, I'll echo what others have said about ServoCity. There are other companies that have good prices on components as well, such as Quantum Models.

Also, take a look at FMA, www.fmadirect.com They have some great RXs at very reasonable prices.

When shopping, be sure to look for sales, (tower, for example, sometimes sells 12 servos for something like $99, a real bargain) and price "flight packs" compared to the components seperately.

I've also bought gear off of ebay with great success, but be careful again of the price you are paying.

You should be able to find flight pacs at tower, servo city and such for not a lot of money. I have seen them from $60 up depending on what you want. I got a few recievers from servo city and was very happy with the service. Have also bought them from heliproz and tower.

you can buy what are called flight packs. they cone with a battery, reciever, servos, and all hardware.
