What Archie is telling you about the Vanquish is good advice. I went with most of his equipment recommendations when I purchased mine last winter and it has worked out well. The Himax 210 has been bullet proof and is reliable with plenty of power and is a direct fit with no mods necessary using the inner three pre-drilled mounting holes . If you use the blue spacers that come with the motor against the firewall on the motor side it gives you a perfect fit for your back-plate and spinner. Mounting the motor takes about ten minutes. The Hacker Q60 is a direct fit as well using the pre-drilled outer 4 blind nuts. Use good servos and your choice of a redundant rx power system and you will get hundreds of care free flying time. This is what I use on mine:

Motor - Himax 210
Prop - personal choice but I use the wide blade variety APC 20.5x12W, APC 21x13W and I am going to test a Mejzlik 20.5x12WEL (wide, electric, light). You can get them at Desert Aircraft and they are light at 40grams.
Elevator servos - Futaba 9650's
Rudder Servo - Futaba BLS 451
Aileron servos - Futaba 9551's
Flight paks - 2 Zippy Compact 5000, 25c. Or the blue zippy 20c's work very well.
Rx set-up - 2 Thunder Power 350mAh, 25c with a Powerbox duel regulator.

The Vanquish is a great flying airplane and well built. I have around 500 flights on mine and it still looks new.
