I',m running a zdz80 (plenty of power) with one 8611 on rudder, 2 8411/wing, 1 8411 on each elevator half. I have over kill on batteries but with the lighter zdz you I needed nose weight anyway...2 4400 li-ion for servos, 1 1900 for ignition and 1 1900 for receiver power. I flew an entire imac event without having to charge any batteries. Like I say its over kill but functional weight is the best weight if you have to add it. I run a i4c isolator to isolate servos and long servo leads from the receiver, you will need some form of isolation, there are lots of power box type of things that do this too. You will need some long servo extension for ailerons and elevator. As sleepy says a kill switch would be good too although I have a servo on choke that can be used as a kill switch. Using carbon fiber wing tube and landing gear will save you about 12 oz. over the stock stuff. This is an awsome flying plane, just won my first imac with it a couple weekends ago. Take your time and get the balance just right and get all your mixes programed and you will look like a pro.

<------------- see what I'm holding?!?! It was strapped to the roving mobile FG assult unit and then smashed into everything that moved. it was way beyond repair. were talking 300 ft into trees my man. the aft part of the fuse was 20 feet in a tree, the wings were 25 feet apart, the thorax was in another tree and the motor was on the ground. Only saving grace the motor didn't hit anything. the CF spinner was barly scratched. Besides that I have the stabs and that's it. I'm going toactually use the stabs on my GP extra 300 I'm building, should be cool.
