Don't waste your money on a 3 channel until you've had a look at the 5 and 6 channel 2.4GHz radios coming in from China. They're not all singing and dancing but they do seem to work OK and are stupidly cheap. 'Giant Cod' distributes one type while you can obtain a Planet 5 through most model shops who deal with J Perkins Wholesale eg Howes of Oxford (ring AM and ask for John Cox). Mark Williams of 'A Model World' might also be able to supply.
If you want decent service back-up however then you'll have to go up to a Spektrum or Futaba 2.4GHz. You get what you pay for, I guess.
Suit yourself.

Hai..friend...indeed..but not by your servo, but with a small switch...place your actual servo on a piece of mat board..and make sure it is working in either direction.then you can place a micro switch, any of the direction, of the arm,with a copper strip, attached to servo arm.if you use a DPST, switch, you can simply change the direction of your motor, to left, or right.if you use a SPST, you can spin your motor towards one direction.you can tap supply for this purpose from your actual battery pack.nicely...
