stock DSM going to BL, RX suggestions

[dansgrandpapa]

Hi Folks,
 I have my stock DSM with DX4e radio. I found a cool BL kit on ebay. Now from all I have read here, I can use the stock receiver, but most of you don't seem to think its a good plan. So, since the BL kit comes with a ESC, I need a recommendation for the receiver. I would like at least 4 channels so I can move to ailerons down the road, but I need a brand and a part number! orange was suggested so I looked and found i was in too deep (meaning too many to choose from)! Can someone with alot of airtime give me a part number? Please? I get all panicked when i have too many choices, I dont have too go ultra cheap, rather be safe than sorry!
Thanks in advance!
Doug

If you'd rather be safe, go Spektrum:
AR400 4-Channel DSMX Aircraft Receiver - www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMAR400

If you haven't already bought the eBay kit you might look at this:

Heads Up will ship cheaper, give you better advice, and support it's products.
I recommend newbies not buy from eBay unless they absolutely know what they are doing. There's ample room for getting burned there, or at least disappointed. The kits are generally only OK.

Thought it might be. Good deal for all. Jeff at Heads Up is a good guy so I like to send him business. New fliers can make good use of his motor+prop+battery tests, something that is initially confusing and daunting. I still use it, easier than doing the work myself and I trust his tests.
