Futaba Receivers & Servos for SIG Wonder

Currently putting together a matrix of model, engine, receiver, servo and battery requirements for five models I will be working on over the Winter, installing Futaba receivers and servos – 2.4Ghz. Will boost “SIG Wonder” airplane construction to the top.

The SIG manual discusses four prototype versions - I will be building the US NAVY configuration. The market has come a long way since the prototype assembly using Futaba R114H receiver and Futaba S133 micro servos - these are now obsolete or discontinued.

Will be using Futaba 2.4Ghz transmitter and I am considering the Magnum KLS 15A 2-stroke engine.From thediscussions it sounds like a .15 has enough power to scramble this baby and make your eyeballs roll - but I am open to suggestions, including installation ofa 4-stroke.

Based on experience of SIG Wonder pilots and Futaba specialists in this forum, would like to hear what current Futabaelectronics I should consider for this model. These are my candidates, and please feel free to recommend any that I have not listed.

Candidate receivers: R6106HFC, R617FS.

Candidate servos: S3003, S3004, S3102, S3114, S3115. Need to select servo with the righttype gearing and torque. Are metal gears needed on the SIG Wonder,or will nylon do just fine? Will have to drive ailerons, elevator, and optional throttle.

Candidate battery: GP NiMH 4-cell 4.8V 350 mAh.

Please let me know what you think about the above candidates,and your recommendations to come up witha good configuration.
