Would anybody have recommendations on a RX for this EDF jet ?? Should have AS3X ? Should just purchase a gyro and basic 8 channel RX ? Should have No gyro ?

That kind of depends on your experience and skill level, which you have not indicated. I don't have the Goshawk specifically, but I do have many EDFs from 64mm, 70mm, 80mm to 90mm. Some have gyros, most don't. The only one I have that really needs a gyro is my Mig 29 because I need it to hover a bit on hand launch and the gyro makes that easy. The others that I have a gyro in is only because I was playing with them and seeing if flight was improved. On the most part, no, unless I'm flying in a lot of wind.
A Spektrum AS3X receiver will be expensive, especially since you need at least 7 channels for this plane. It also needs to be programmed for your plane. Are you well versed in doing this? A reliable, "basic" 8-ch Rx can be had at a reasonable cost if you look at the Lemon line of receivers. They have 8-ch and 10-ch (you don't have to use the last 2 channels) in DSMX. Admiral also makes a 7-ch and 10-ch Rx. One those will be less than 1/3 the price a Spektrum product. If you wish, you can add a HobbyEagle gyro and it's still a reasonable outlay of money.

The 90 mm T45 Goshawk is a very solid smooth flying jet. Even in breezy conditions it handles well. I use a Spectrum 8 channel receiver in mine, no gyro, no problem . On my newest EDF I purchased the Admiral RX1000 10 channel DSMX receiver from Motion R/C . Works great and is very well priced, I highly recommend it . The number one thing I do suggest is using a separate battery for all those servos ,slats, flaps and retract doors. This jet uses a lot of juice. It's a great looking good flying airplane.

I used to have a Hitec 9 channel in the prototype and then in the first production T-45, but nowadays I have an Admiral RX1000 in it, just like SWOFLY. It allows me to take advantage of all the moveable surfaces on the T-45. Although I still link slats with second stage flaps on a single switch.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I put in a lot of hours on the Grand Tundra & sportsman s plus without safe on. I have a few EDF jets .. A380, Turbojet , HobbyLobby ex jet , 117 bomber & the Australian milatery A340. However ☹️ Never flown any of them ?? They are all ready to go with Lemons installed, just need to put it to the sticks and stop worrying ( what if I crash it !!!!!! )
