I always start at eBay and work out from there But Tower stock everything you need. Get a decent charger that will do everything is my advice. I have a Triton II which will charge everyhing in my hanger and in the house too!

As for GoGo juice. Get a Heli specific fuel only if you can.
And I wouldn't put a parkfly RX in an IC heli. There might be range issues, not that you'll be getting that far away for a while

Well just now getting to order my rx7000 dual reciever, LHS recommended cool power fuel 15 % ,other they had was 30% , I also pickup a recharable glow ignitor.. just need charger and starter battery then I think I will be set.......
I have a question on the setup linkage for a beginner ,,,,is it changed in both places mixing arm and alieron level arm...do I have to turn grips 180 degrees ?
really confused by the manual on this.

Hello,
I have a similar question as I have a ccpm Caliber 30 and I don't have the manual for it. Can anyone tell me where to buy or download the manual?
