Looking at the Sky Scooter ARF, the $70 one from Tower Hobbies, and I am pretty sure that is the first plane I am going to buy. Looks like a great plane, and I have heard good reviews.

The question I have is: What is a good setup for it?

I currently have:
-JR XP421-EX radio with standard NES-537 size servos (WILL THESE servos work in the Sky Scooter?)
-JR R600 Receiver

I am not sure on whether or not the servos will work.

I need:
-Battery Pack, 7-cell, AA size
-Battery Charger
-Electronic speed control

Can anyone give me a setup for those 3 things, and tell me whether or not my servos will work in the Scooter? Thanks!

the HS 50's for servos and the Hitec 555 Rx for JR
Your biggie servos really won't work on these light planes

Save your money, I had one, it barely flew. I saw other guys with them and they flew the same way, terrible. I scrapped mine for parts.

I've heard that the combo planes (both the Beginner and Pro) don't fly well because the Beginner model lacks throttle and the Pro while having throttle lacks the gearbox and bigger prop. If you decide on the combo, get the pro, but add the gearbox and bigger prop. It'll add thrust while reducing speed. Check out the Ezonemag forums as there's a significant amount of info regarding these models there.
