I am planning on buying the Corona electric helicopter and need to know what stuff I will need to get. I will need a piezo gyro, 4-channel radio w/ 3 microservos, and a 7-cell battery. I would preferably like to order everything from Tower b/c I am a Super Saver member and would get free shipping on the stuff.


For the radio selection: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=JEJ&P=7
I am thinking about the Hitec Flash w/ 2 HS-81 servos. In the future I might (very big) look into flying airplanes, would I be able to use this for a plane or would I need more channels?

I have no clue what gyro to get or what you need to look for in one. Again I would prefer it to be from Tower but I can't seem to find too many on their site.

For the battery I am assuming any 7-cell pack(such as one for 1/10 cars) would work, I have a review for the Corona and they used a 2000mah pack, would that have enough capacity or should I go bigger if money allows?

If there is anything else I need or might want I will take suggestions. Thanks!
