I'm hoping to get back into the hobby after a hiatus, and I like the idea of building my own plane and watching it fly. I'm looking at the Tiny Trainer for its versatility and for being essentially a powered glider that is okay in smaller spaces. I also like the A powerpack that could be swapped into the Sparrow pretty easily. I want to stay under the 250g limit so I avoid paperwork. Apart from the plane itself and the powerpack, the rx and the battery add up to the total flying weight. What budget 4+channel options would you suggest?
I have an MLP DSM transmitter already that I'd like to use for short-range practice flights, so I have looked at the Spektrum AR410 rx, but I'm not sure how much weight that would add. I may be looking at a choice between a heavier rx that works with my tx, or a lighter rx that will require purchase (and justification to family!) of a whole new tx.
Thoughts or guidance here on staying below the weight limit while using what I have?
