You will need:

.60 size glow engine
5 standard size servos
1200mAh 6v Battery Pack
Radio Receiver ( 2.4gHz recommended )
Charge Jack ( MPI switch with integrated jack recommeded )
4+ channel transmitter ( don't buy an overly cheap transmitter... )
Epoxy
Thin CA Glue
Spinner and fittings
Appropriate propeller ( see recommended prop for that engine and pick up at least TWO. )
"T" and/or fuel fittings
Server extension wires x 4
Chicken Stick or Electric Starter
Glow Ignitor
Chargers for Ignitor, Starter and TX/RX batteries
Fuel
Fuel pump ( manual crank is recommended )
Fuel container fittings ( e.g. Dubro, etc. )
Fuel Tubing
Fuel fill coiled tubing ( recommended but not absolutely needed ).
Windex
Exhaust extender

Plane restraing: An old screwdriver and strong strap will suffice, to hold the plane from moving once started.

During Assembly

Masking tape ( for assembly ).
Assembly Tools
Clamps
Drill and bits

After assembly

Sanctioned Club Airfield or large private land area, with NO surrounding houses, towers, recreation areas, etc.
AMA membership ( get that for insurance purposes! )

The Single Most important item you'll need = A club instructor to look over your plane, trim it out for you and give you flight instructions.

I am looking to buy a couple to teach new pilots. Is there a link to the instruction manual?

Thanks Steve

The original manual sucks. Dont look at it.
As I remember, it is a 3 to 4 pages of blurred black and white pictures with less than10 sentences.

I did an electric conversion on this plane. I did change a few things. The stock landing gear wire is pretty soft. The main gear blocks can use more glue to reinforce them. I used (2) servo's for the ailerons. I did not use any of the included EZ type connectors. I used Dubro EZ connectors. The first one I built I had a worn out ASP .61 in the nose. My brother in law flys his with a new Magnum 61, my brother flys his with a Magnum 91. I think a 91 four stroke would be perfect for this plane. We had to mount the 2s engines as far forward as we could.

For servo's I used the [link=http://www.hobbypartz.com/kahaoubrmo14.html]TP 5010's[/link]

The [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10294464/tm.htm]"E" conversion [/link] thread.

If you have built a few ARF's or have any building skills, you should not have much of a problem. I would say to seal the covering with Luster coat clear before you begin building. The covering does lift with time and fuel.

He plane does fly very well. It will slow down to a crawl for landing, has good control with higher rates, does not have any real bad tendencies in the air. You can fly it with full up elevator and a touch of throttle, it will just hang in the air.
