I'll starting to get my parkflyer gear together for spring 2004
I have settled on my plane a GWS E-Starter ( my father and I getting same kit )
I already have my:
Radio - Hitec eclipse 7 w/spectra
Charger - Great Planes Triton w/ Heat Probe
Batteries - E-Tec ET-1200x2 1200 Mah ( for use with my ECO Piccolo )
Now what I am looing for input on are the following
Reciever & Speed Contol that can handle the Li-Poly's ( I would really like to be able to use the same batteries for both my heli and plane)
Thanks so much for any help you can provide

The GWS ESC can handle the Li-pos just fine. The problem comes with the low voltage cutoff. The minimum voltage for your Li-po patts is higher than the LVC for the GWS ESC's. If you try to fly the plane until the ESC cutts power, you'll ruin your pack. This doesn't mean that it won't work though, you just need to keep an eye on the voltage of your pack.
