For the 3C (glider only) a Hi-tech Focus III SS AM is perfect. It's a single
stick with built-in mixing (required for elevons) and comes with regular
servos (which are perfect for the 3C). You can get them for $65 (inludes RX and
servos) at hobbypeople.net.

The 400 (and 400-X) requires the micro servos, so you need to spend an extra
$50 ($25 ea) for the smaller servos for that plane. You might be able to get
away with standard servos, but I just followed the directions and bought the
more expensive (and smaller) servos, but with the same torque.
