<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Name's kodiak536.

Just getting into electric EDF jets.

I've flown balsa wood &amp; paper skin model years ago as a child....mind you, I'm now 51....and 1/2

As bad as the reputation online for them, I just bought a F-16 from bananahobby.com

Ordered it Sunday night and just received it few hours ago...not too bad considering their reputation.

All parts accounted for and no apparent damage, it was packed very securely and no loose parts.

Being that I bought just the airframe only model I have some questions as to what &amp; where to purchase the needed parts to complete this plane for flight.

Folowing is what's required, according to their picture book instructions:</span></span>

<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">8 CH RC
9 X 9G servos
50A Brushless ESC w/5A UBEC
2400KV brushless motor
18.5V 25C 2200mAh Li-Po Battery.

Will these be sufficient or will it be underpowered? I have no plans right now to hook-up or activate the vectoring...got to learn how to fly RC before I can do stunts.

I'm former USAF so, I do have knowledge of how the Aircfat fly and do have actual fighter/trainer flight times.

Thanks &amp; Aloha</span></span>
