The problem I see with your particular mix and match is that your
base system is FM.  Will you be able to get an FM 2 channel receiver?
Seems to me that most companies only provide FM on their higher end
models.  I doubt you'd have trouble as long as you get the receiver
tuned to the transmitter.  

One thing for you to check on is whether Airtronics makes radios 
for hobby shops like Futaba does.  Hobby Shack now sells FM versions
of their radio, which I'm sure is a Futaba in a different box.  This
would probably be the cheapest route to get a flight pack.

If you do get a 2 channel receiver, open it up and see if it is really
a 6 or 7 channel without the extra connectors.  I've heard they do this
so they only have to have one board line in manufacturing.
