RE: Servo Question

I presume you are fairly new to the hobby. There is a lot to learn and it will come with time. Though very good, I dont suggest you go for LiFe(PO4) batteries just yet as they have a different charging system to NiMH. Best to get good NiMH batteries- look for Sanyo Eneloop. These are rechargable batteries so each is 1.2V. With a 5C pack you will get redundancy (if one cell suddenly fails you can still continue flying) and you get higher servo torque (except for specifically marked servos, all servos will operate at both 4.8v and 6v and you will get more torque at 6V). If you cant make a battery pack, get a club member to help you with the soldering part. These batteries are fairly safe and will stand up to any abuse you end up metting out to them. Your charger (that came with the Tx) will have the connector to trickle charge them (charge them at a low rate).
Just look at the servo model number, Futaba will come with basic 3003 or 3004 servos. These are fairly good. One of them is a ball bearing servo which will last a bit longer and you are using them on a 60 size airplane. Otherwise you are sorted
If you want to try LiFe, go with Hobbico's set. Select around 2100mAh for good number of flights. Unlike NiMh, these have a flat discharge curve, so voltage will drop off suddenly at the end. Unlike NiMH, they cant be reliably monitored with a Voltwatch. But unlike NiMH, these dont have to be cycled in the off season. You can charge today and go fly after a year if you want (dont test that!). They are still far safer than LiPo but as a beginner I would stay away
