Well, You'll need a transmitter/ reciever combination, with 5 channels
if you want to fire a gun, or four if you just want a rotate and
elevate function. Then you will need two speed contrillers for the
motors, but those depend on what kind of motors they are and at what
voltage you run them. From there you just need to install all the
wires and have fun. Good luck!
