I used the same set of gear on all the micro planes, from an "Air RaiderX". It's available <a href="http://www.toptrenz.co.uk/acatalog/Air_RaiderX_RC_Airplane_Yellow.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but that's about three times what I paid! I can't seem to find them on eBay at the moment, unfortunately, but it may be worth checking every so often. The range out-of-the-box was fairly short, but increasing the receiver antenna length to 30" or so fixed that. Apart from that, no mods were required to the RC gear. If you really want good gear though, have a look at the "brick" combined receiver and servos used by Parkzone in their Vapor and other micro planes. The brick's available seperately and is compatible with any DSM2 transmitter, such as the Spektrum DX5e. Best regards, I. Hi Richard, by all means.
