Default Flight Pack Recommendation

I am thinking about building a Park Flyer and am indecisive about what to do for a flight pack. All of my current radio gear is Futaba. So, at first I was leaning toward a Futaba R114F receiver, with S3103 servoes. There are other choices out there such as the Hitec feather receiver, with HS 55 servos or the Great Planes ElectriFly Flight Packs including a C-10 speed controller, CS-5 Nano servos and a 4 CH receiver.

Any opinions about the above mentioned gear? Any other recommendations?

I'm thinking about the new Sig Lil Rascal for a plane.

Thanks in advance for your help.

George

I would recomend the Hitec Lazer 4 with electron-6 and HS-55's. This is a negative shift system, I can't remember what shift Futaba uses. (Shift matching is only important if later you want to mix this with Futaba stuff). Look at Horizon Hobbies for a pretty good package price.

If I remember correctly, Hitec and Futaba are the same shift, although you can order many icro rx's in either shift. I'd recomend something like the Hitec 555, Berg 4 or 6, or FMA M5 reciever. Hitec HS-55's will work well in most parkflyers along with GWS Picco BB's.

I am new to the whole mix match thing, I am buying a Dandy Sport as the package doug offers. What is an rx????? It might be a dumb question but I just cant find out what it is.

Thanks so much, Mark
