After doing a lot of reading, I have decided to buy a Composite-Arf Extra 300 2.3 m. The model is going to be the Futaba scheme http://www.composite-arf.com.hk/ar/Product?684000

On the engine, I still don't decide if it's going to be a DA50 or a DA85. I've read that the 50 is better for 3D and the 85 for IMAC and I still need to think about which way I want to go. On the muffler, I'm thinking of a Pitts style muffler.

What about the other equipment needed ? I'm thinking on Futaba S9156 servos and one S9402 for the throttle. The question is, in this plane how many servos do I need ? I've read that some people don't recommend double servos for this pane and they say that you should be OK with one big one. Ideas ? Are these servos OK or there are better alternatives out there (ex: Hitec S5955) ?

Which powerbox would be the best choice for this plane ? http://www.duralitebatteries.com/flight/accessories1.php The Powerbox 40/24TM SC-12 with servo match control could be a good choice ?

On batteries, I'm thinking of Fromeco Relion 2600 mah batteries.

Mejzlik 26/10 blade.

What other things that I should think about it ?

All recommendations are welcome.
