    TX transmitter RX receiver. Your heli control could do a quad or fixed wing most likely (have to know the model to give a good answer but it would not be a controller to use for a car or truck. On the plus side the spectrum Dx 3&4 are pretty cheap or lets meet up and I'll give you the stock one I pulled out of the Wraith.

    The control is "Silverlit" with no discernable model # on it. Honestly it looks like basic POS when viewing it this morning....been a while sitting in a box with a busted heli.

    I saw quite a bit of difference in detail and parts complexity while looking at kits yesterday. And not very much mention of controllers or if they come with the kit when you buy it.

    Never started into RC craft but was always interested since going with my grandfather to watch others fly them. Right now it's just another expensive hobby my wife would be upset over, but...

    Since seeing a video here several years back, this is the bird I'd love to buy/fly:

    Might be a older model, is it running the 72mhz freq? When you look at Kits bud that's just the bare parts for the vehicle there's no electronics or TX/RC a included usually.

    SR71 Blackbird is always been a favorite of mine too. Pick up some foam insulation board and lets build it, I have the electronics covered

    That's a Cool p51 and I bet it's nice and light too. If you do it let us know how it com s out. I've been siting on a topflite p51 kit for years and have everything to do it except wheel retracts which are about $280, maybe next year it will get built.

    No real plan for it. I wanted something just to play around with, and wife told me I couldnt BUY one. I bought parts... haha
    I did go a bit overkill on it though.

    Dude that's a beast for sure, hookup a tank and sprayer and make spring time fun to get the lawn in order

    looked up the parts to fix the AX10 and all aluminum shafts with the hubs for about $30-35 and a new most mount kit is $6 but the thing that sucks is I don't remember the Lexmark bodies costing $50-$100.

    You could defiantly used it for another heli or aircraft and probably quad. It's running a 2.4ghz freq which is better than the old 72's, you are no longer segregated to a specific channel with the 2.4 ghz opposed to the 72
