Also I need some input on servos

I was looking at these..[link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFKZ7&P=0]servos[/link]


This is my first arf build.. I have some kit building experience.. (this will be my 4th kit....first arf)

That combo would work well, but I would put a stronger servo on the rudder maybe run your system on 6 volts.

Yeah running them at 6V would be advisable for the extra torque and response.

Yes all you need to do is change to a 6V battery pack.

There are a few TX's and servos that cannot tolerate the switch to 6V, but it looks like you'll do fine.

Remember that you want a larger capacity pack as well. You need to increase the voltage AND capacity as you'll use up current faster at 6v.
