Hey,

A friend bought me a Hobby Source XR-1, just the helicopter for like $30 bucks. Well there is no 4 channel transmitter, no battery, no gyro, no servo, it takes 2 mini servos according to the box. What the heck is an Electronic Mixer. Their instructions, suck. What is a 4 channel reciver and where does it go, what type of gyro, servos. AAggggggggguhhh!

Since Im a total newbe I dont know what the hell Im doing. I tried contacting the company but they didnt answer so I left a message.

I need to know what to buy in the line of a 4 channel transmitter, I dont need bells and whistles. Also gyros, servos, receiver, mixer????? This is all greek.

I really need the help of some of you experts out there. This person was so happy they got this for me and I dont want to let them down.

I thank you all in advance for any help an guidance.

Well i'm not sure what your friend bought you but from what I can find out is this heli is suppose to be ready to fly comes with all parts needed. I did find a place that sells them and all the parts you can find them here [link]http://www.hobbytron.com/Hobby-Source-XR-1--4-Channel-Ready-To-Fly-Electric-Helicopter-.html[/link] hope this helps and good luck.
