Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this as I have been out of the hobby for a while and have decided to take it back up again in the form of slope-soaring.
I have settled on purchasing an Irvine Pixie

as my re-introduction to the hobby as I have heard good things about it. In addition I plan to buy the Futaba 6EXA radio

as it seems like a good system that will serve me well for the future.
If anyone can help me answer the following I would be very grateful:
- Does the Irivine Pixie require mini/micro servos and Rx or will the "standard" servos and Rx that come with the Futaba 6EAX be sufficient? Unfortunately the detail on the Irvine website is limited.
- If answer to 1 is needs micro/mini servos/Rx then would someone be able to suggest suitable Futaba (or compatible) models at a budget price point that I could use.
- If micro/mini servos are used is there an equivalent "light weight" battery pack that could be used also to power them? Any model recommendations?
- As I have nothing left of my previous modelling experiences (!!), have I missed anything major that I would need to purchase apart from the kit and the radio noted. Does anyone have any comments on this setup or comparable model/radio they would recommend instead?
Many thanks in advance, Arun
