No worries mate, have a shop around however please check out Model Flight.

I am 110% with Gazz on this one.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the orange receivers however I don't think their range is is good as the genuine article.

You need to have the same system as the pilot you are buddying with.
So, a futaba tx will not buddy with a jr/ spectrum and vice versa.
Dual receivers won't resolve that issue.

Hmmm, I am not sure I like the way this is going;
I seems that my aircraft or myself are possibly going to be sacrificed for a supposed greater cause.
If this is going to be the case I wish to choos...

I suspect that the dx4 can "smell" the hardcore futaba fumes that you emanate and reacts the only way it knows how, ie shitting itself and unbinding.

If you are intending to set up the Gazebo's at the park you will not be allowed to. The shelters need to be council approved, sandbagged etc etc.

Kieran told me about the spitty flight when he dropped her off.
It was easy to set up because I had Andrews to compare to.
Was not surprised she flew well in Kieran's capable hands.

Adding weight in my eyes should be avoided if possible.
Are you able to hack some weight out of the nose area or shift, change your battery?
