Default RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Hi all,

I've been reading through the forum, it is a long one!  I'm barely half-way through and going cross eyed from staring at the computer

Anyway, I just started building my 'Stang about a week ago.  I've finished the tail feathers, about to move on to the wing.  I plan to use E-flite electric retracts with Robart struts and a Robart tail wheel unit.  I'm not sure what servo to use for the retract itself, any input would be much appreciated.

I'm also toying with the idea of going electric.  I guess my biggest concern is balance, as there doesn't seem to be much room in front of the CG for a battery.  I plan on removing the wing for batter access since I don't feel like engineering a battery hatch into the top.  I'm not sure what motor/ESC/battery/prop to use, any advice there would be much appreciated.  Like I said, I'm not even half-way through the forum yet, so please forgive me if this has already been covered.
