Hello,
I recently got an Art-Tech ductedfan F-16 model. The servo's and the engine are already installed. the only thing I need is the receiver, transmitter and a battery. I have been searching over the internet but had no luck (think it's because I am a noob XD). the manual of the plane recommends:
Transmitter: Efly-4B II (4ch, 2.4GHz, Certification: FCC, CE)
Reciever: 4.8V/5.2V, 44mm/23mm/15mm, 6ch, <40mA
Battery: 2200mAh 11.1V li-po

this is a link to the airplane art-tech.cn/english/ArticleShow.asp

If anyone could help, it would be appreciated!

Hi, welcome to RCU. If I understand you properly you are asking where to get that particular TX , RX , and batery?

I can't get the link for some reason , but probably any 4 channel 2.4 system will work. It should include the TX and the RX at a minimum and can range from $20 to hundreds. The power batery will be purchased separately and most 3s x 2200 packs would work , but the dimensions and specs should be verified first.

I looked at the link and can't quite tell if it needs a 4 channel or 5 channel. Maybe a 6 channel should be bought just in case. Your post above indicates a 4 channel TX , and a 6 channel RX.

in the manual it recommends these transmitters and receivers. the plane can move the ailerons, elevators, throttle and nose-wheel. I got this plane from a technician at the dutch airforce and he said it was a 3ch plane but it would be better to buy a 4ch transmitter..

I can't find the exact one in manual , but based on his statement then you could use almost ANY 3+ channel system then. I would research the different radios and pick the one you like.

this are the battery dimensions

I have just happened to research 2.2 packs and settled on 2 very cheap packs. Those dimensions look pretty restrictive and the pack dimensions should be checked carefully before purchase. Also I see the plane has a 40 amp esc. I'm not sure what the max or constant current could be on this jet. The pack needs to have enough current capability.

I settled on HobbyKing for 3 of my packs and got 20C 3sx2200 mah. You may find that you need a 40C pack (which are more money) The 22oo size seems very popular and many of them are similar sized.

I'm a noob too, maybe I could get a jet next year when I get more experience.

So i found some great deals at HobbyKing. I found a right receiver and transmitter. I also found a LiPo ballancer-charger with a power supply cable.
the only thing I need is a LiPo. for max dimensions see post above. i know it has to be 2200mAh, I am planning to buy a 3cell LiPo. though one thing I don&acute;t get, in the name of all the lipo&acute;s it sais a number and then C e.g. &acute;&acute;<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack&acute;&acute;.
what number of C do I need. it does not specify in the manual.

this is the plug

Put that thing away and get a trainer or a plane with a design similiar to the Easystar if you are going it alone.

An EDF is about the WORST thing for a novice to start out with...

Even if you have flown trainers before, EDF's really fall into the "third or fourth" plane catagory.

Your first electric should really be able to glide very well in case you run into problems with your battery/ESC/Prop choices.
EDF's require power-on landings, and any F-16 really needs a nose up approach like a real jet. That puts it into the "intermediate" range of planes.

Save the EDF until you have more experience with electrics and understand the basics of electric configurations a bit more.
