i have the same plane and i am running all hitec 645mg servos with alum arms, one the inner hole to get the best tourque and least stress on the servo, one futaba 9ch rx, one 2700nimh battery for the radio and one 1400nimh on the smoke system, i am running a g62 so i doint need a engine battery. the switch i like useing is a super-rocker switch with the led power light and built in charging jack. (they make a single or a duel battery version). and i up graded the control horns to the great planes large scale set up so i have elimated all the slopyness in the controles. i to lost the first one i had due to flutter but i found that the glue joints was very poor and the plane just came appart..

hey, this is a great plane, I like it a lot, I havent had any problems with the 6 volt nimh batt I am running on mine, have been flying with that for a long time with other planes....and as far of the cowl on my head...its because one of two...either I am ugly, or I am so handsome that ladies will just run over me if they could see that pic....lol

Are the futaba s3305 servos powerful enough for this model?
