This would change if you wanted to put a seperate servo on each aileron. The assignments are: #1 - throttle #2 - aileron #3 - elevator #4 - rudder After much testing, I think that the MPX IPD receivers are some of the finest out there, but a little big for your application. I have also tested the FMA receivers in the lab (Quantum, Magnum, Extreme) and after flying the Extreme 5 at the IHLGF, I must say that it is rock solid, small and light. It weighs in at 0.4 ounces and range is not even an issue. You'll like the Hornet. Make sure to get the NiMH pack from Merrill. I chucked the vacu-formed wheels, bent a slightly shorter, narrower stance landing gear and put on some Dragonfly type wheels. With the addition of a rudder servo, gobs of rudder throw, and the CG back a bit more, it will flat spin with a little bit of coaxing.
