Got my kit today and am stoked!
I need help on servo selection, I did a search and read enough to decide on using
my FUT S3151 digitals on the main four but for a micro on the throttle I was going to order a FUT S3101
I just wanted to make sure I was heading the right direction.......

I have had the prototype of your bird for years thanks to Mike! I am running 605's all around and it does fine.
Better servos are always a good idea but standards will work fine for the average+ pilot.

Thanks Mike Bell! Good to see you hear buddy and hope the family is well.
Anyway you fly the 40 size profiles just fine with standard servos but speed and power do show marked improvement in performance. A 6v battery pack is the best way to get that extra torque and speed from standard servos.

Thanks, mike and mike . I ended up with 4 3151 for the mains and an HS-81 fot the throttle to be mounted behind the eng.
I'm assuming I can omit all the throttle servo stuff with the ribs and center section?

Yep, that's old school installation. Everyone is using the minis up in the nose these days.
