Wow, i had to register to check the shipping but it was easy and quick. 5 day (maybe) shipping starts at $15 and goes all the way up to $80 for next day air. So i think it would just be cheaper to go down to Hobby People and Buy them.

Are you flyinf small park flyer electrics or full glow. Have an old gold stickered Hi-tec Spectrum 7 channel for shipping only. Would need batery pack. $20 buck if you make your own with Wa-Mart Ni-mh. You need to know how to solder. Charger included. TX only. Park flyer reciever and servos under $100 if you shop around. Could help you with that also.

A flying buddy used to do this until he started checking how many flights he got (only a few) and the mA that was put back in. He figured out they they where about 1/3 of teh rated mAh after getting only a few flights on them (he used a loaded volt meter to check them). He's since stopped using wally world batteries.

If this is against the rules let me know and ill take it down.

I was wondering if there was anyone switching to 2.4 getting rid of there old systems. I just started flying and soled for the first time about a month ago. I took my wife to the field one day not think she would like flying, she loved it and I'm trying to get a plane together for her so we stop fighting over who gets to fly . I already have a old plane and engine (os .40) that I got from a guy at the field. but I'm really struggling to find a radio for her. It took me well over a year of extreme penny pinching to save up for my plane and equipment. and I just wanted to know if there was anyone not using there 72 radio and receiver That could let it go for really cheap or free (Ill pay shipping and everything else)

Thanks Josh
Tx and RX are one the way to you. Priority mail, should be there Saturday
