Hi I was thinking of getting a blade cp, but i wanted to use my transmitter (JR 8103) instead of the regular one and a Li-Po right off the bat. How does this set up sound:
Blade CP ARF
E-Flite 2in1
E-Flite 860 3-cell
E-Flite S-75 servos
JR 610UL receiver
E-Flite heading hold gyro
later I will probably add the heat sinks, bell-hiller set up, and symmetrical blades.
Thanks

eh...
You can do it, but what is that going to cost?
Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to buy the RTF blade CP, and use your own transmitter, swapping out the radio crystal in the stock 4n1?
I am not sure what all that stuff costs separately, but the arf blade cp is $100. The rtf blade cp is $200. Will all that stuff cost you more than $100? I don't knwo prices, but it sounds like it would be more. Heck, the 3 servos alone are almost $40, at $13 a piece. That leaves you $60 for the rest of the stuff.
Also, get a 1200mah li-po. the smaller one just isn't worth the money. They are nice, but for a couple bucks more, you can get 22 minute flight times.
