Radio Gear for a .15 Gnat?
 
I'm thinking of building a Gnat ( http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/Gnat/ ), and I'm not sure what RX/servos I should get for it. It seems like a mini/micro RX/servo package would be the way to go given the size, but I'm concerned about going with a mini/micro RX. All of the mini/micro RXs I've seen are single conversion, and I've heard it's not smart to fly those at a club, where you will have many TXs operating on adjacent channels. The smallest dual conversion RX I've seen is the Hitec Electron-6.

Would micro servos have enough torque to flex the coro hinges? Or would I have to use one of the techniques to loosen the hinges to use micros?

Any commments, suggestions welcome!

the spad gnat uses an aluminum u-channel fo the fuselage. So you need to use standard size servos. Such as Futaba s3003-hitec hs300 or jr 527 as they will fit into the u- channel and not fall around as with mini servos. the hitec electron receiver is a good choice along with a hitec super slim rec.
