The radio you have listed has everything you need to fly, Why are you upgrading the receiver pack and charger?

As for an answer, yes they will work together, but they are not the best combination.

What would be a good combination then?

What do you indend to use this radio system on? It matters!

All the items you are looking at would work together. You could pick up something that includes everything you are looking for in one complete system.

Airtronics VG400, Futaba 4YF are two instances that have the TX, RX, servos and the applicable battery packs and chargers and for quite a bit less cost.

This is an outfit for a EP 25 size plane

It is for a tower trainer 40, 4-channel, 40 size nitro engine (trainer).

Then any basic system as I showed would work with the included battery pack and charger.

If you want to upgrade, well, that's fine, but for a basic setup, the Airtronics or Futaba systems are just fine. I've used both, I prefer the Airtronics (personal choice) but both will work just fine.

As for the Airtronics, the basic servo, the 94102Z is a fine servo and I have a bunch of them and fly with them regularly. There is nothing wrong with the Futaba's but I just happen to prefer the Airtronics.

So the airtronics includes everything i need (tx, rx, Tx and rx batteries, chargers and servos).

Thanks so much!

Take a look at the sale that hobby people has going on.

Yep. So does the Futaba... and I would think so does the Hitec... but the description on Tower does not say charger.

Your choice. As I said, I prefer the Airtronics.. I was "broght up" on Airtronics. This becomes a " Ford vs. Chevy" argument where the Futaba gestapo would spit on Airtronics users.. (just kidding, Minnflyer.. ) but for basic systems are just that and work just fine.

Hey, Gene.. how goes it this evening? Pretty much fixed the Protege.. next up is to fix the vert stab on the Venus that I tripped over the other day.. jeech.. age I guess!!


Dick.

This outfit is not adequate for the Tower Trainer 40. The servos are not big enough. It only has HS81 servos.

You need the one that has the #322 servos

Futaba and Tower Hobbies are exactly the same, and they both include crystals

Here is the Airtronics, does not include crystals

The TS-53 servo is a Futaba 3003 servo which like was said is a standard duty servo good enough for your plane

Hey Dick

We are snowed in. Took the snowblower this morning and now we have another 6-8". Working on my Big BingoI put a magnum 180 4 stroke in that puppy. Just starting the covering and my wife is very good at it. Must be that old seamstress in her, she knows where to nip and tuck. Looking at all the post you have been busy. It is about our bedtime isn't it?

Also found [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXANT6**&P=0]this[/link] package. Would it work no problem? It comes with hs-322 servos. Also does it come with ALL the crystals i need?

Also thinks for all the answers!!!!

This will be good for your trainer

Yes the crystal is included but you need to tell them what channel you want see the two asterisk

One Receiver Crystal HRCL01**

here are the Channels they have in stock

14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 31, 34, 40, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59 and 60

Do some channels work better than others, if so which one should i get?

they are all good. Talk with the guys you fly with and get a freq they don't use so you can fly when you want to

Ok thanks!

This information is not correct. Airtronics ALWAYS includes the crystals in their radio you do not need to purchase the crystals seperately like you have for a Futaba radio.

Ken

Yes TX and RX crystals are included in that set
I have a Hitec myself and it is very good

W8YE is right about the combo. One problem with the first one you listed is the servos were too small (HS-81), another thing to pay attention to is the type of Rx in the package. The first one had the Mini6S which is a single conversion, and I would suggest a Dual. I was bit by buying the Min6S to try to save some money, but I had a lot of problems with glitching. I switched it to the the Supreme IIs and have been very happy.

Before you purchase, you may want to think about how far you want to go in the hobby. If you plan on buying a couple of planes, then you may want to think about a computer radio with more than 4 channels, possibly 5 or 6. If so, then you may also want to look at the deals that Hobby People are having. The computer radios will allow you to make trim adjustments digitally and they will be stored to a model that you can recall later, so if you fly several planes, you can choose which plane on the radio and all of the previous trim adjustments will be recalled. (this goes for servo reversing, end point adjustement, and others). Also one of the features is Exponential, which helps take out some of the jerkiness when you are first touching the sticks.

Some things to consider...
You came to the right place,

I may have been wrong about Airtronics not having crystals (did not see them listed in the product description) but I am NOT wrong about Futaba having crystals.

Features as listed in Towerhobbies:

frequency flags, neck strap, servo tray, switch harness, four
