Hi I'm new to R/C planes so I thought I'd start with a Micro 2 channel and work my way up I've built indoor flyers for science olympyad but only rubberband powered. A few things I'd like to know, With 2 channel I can only have either throtle/elevators or throtle/stearing right? which would you recomend? also whats a good plase to pick up a small reciver and motor, prop and such. Thanks much!

(also sorry If i used the wrong terms I'm a r/c car guy)

I would say throttle and steering because you can use your throttle as height control. Now the question becomes how small do you want? How much do you want to spend? Go through a few post on this board and most of your question can be answered. Just change the opption to view post from the last year.

I want to stay fairly small mabie 14 in. wingspan the most. I have a great planes c-10 esc already to that will put costs down a little
as for the rest of electronics, hobbico c-5 as a servo for the reciver I have no idea where to get a small 2 channel 75mhz AM reciver I got one with my futuba transmitter and if I take the case off it's fairly light
