Default ESM 74" Corsair On-board battery cap

I asked this question in the Q&A forum, but only received one response. I am not well versed in the electonic requirements of fuel planes and I am building this plane in anticipation of flying it in a year or so, as my flying skills develope. The Corsair is outfitted with digital servos on all control surfaces, and one for the throttle -seven in all.Oneadditional pneumatic gearanalog servo.I have a Saito 170 radial for power, but may go to the 200 if AUW dictates it. An on-board glow with a 4.8V battery is to be also used. Considering that I would like to keep the weight down, what type and capacity of a mainbattery would be suggested. I favor the 6.6V LIFE style battery for power and weight factors. That being said, what mAh capacity is suggested for this plane. I am now at the point of needing power to adjust the servo installations. Thanks for you input.
