Default What all do i need ?

Hey guys, ok so im moving from nitro airplanes to a Big Scale Airplane. Its a Big Stick from AMR and i bought a DLE-55. Can you guys let me know what else i need.

So far:
Gas DLE-55
Futaba FASSTreceiver
Nicad 4.8 reciver battery

Im guessing i need a battery for the igntion system and maybe stear away from the 4.8receiverbattery and move towards a bigger pack.

If you have a charger that will handle it I would suggest you ditch the nicd and go with a LIFE battery or at least run everything on a 6 volt nimh. You will also need a way to kill your engine from the radio, 42% optical kill switch is what I would recommend for that as well.

While at Valley View order a prop as well, they will drill it for your DLE no charge.

Guys at the local field are your best resource. If you do what they do, using the products that they use, they will have the solutions to your problems.
