I can't see any problem.

I noticed you are getting a remote... Have you flown before?

Is the motor that comes with it a brushless motor or the stock brushed ?

well the website says you will need a brushless ESC. does that help. i dont know if you need to use a brushless with brushless, if you get me :)

Also i just realized that the 3 lipo's i have wont do i reckon. what do you guys suggest is best?

i need one for the motor, one for the onboard receiver, one for the cam... oh just realized i will need a fourth for the transmitter on the ground.

Ideally you would power the onboard VTX and camera from the same lipo - I use a 600mAh 3 cell to do that on mine. There's little point in having a lipo for each as it's just extra weight.

£20 for a Futaba 7C!?  Fook me.

I am guessing its too expensive, right?

Coyote

No, i`d say for a futaba 7cap your looking more near £100

Mine will have to be a 35mgz. Took me a while to find a transmitter on 35mgz.
