Default RE: Great Planes Ultimate Biplane .40 Build. (The covering)

Thanks guys. I've been reading about the LiFe batteries. I'm actually pretty sure that is what I'll be getting.

Servos I'm probably going to go with something standard.

Motor, still unsure. I've run many Super Tiger, O.S., Saito, Magnum, Worlds, Webra, Enya, Fox, and have had good and stinker engine from most brands. From what I've been reading The Saito gasser is finicky, but should be a good engine for the bipe. I was introduced to gass engines 15 years ago. Didn't care for it since the engine was a junk used engine. Just before my last break I had a DA 50 in a nice Yak. That made me a gas convert. I was very surprised to find a viable gas engine for not only such a small plane, but an aerobatic one to boot. I realize the big glow 4 stroke, and the little gas engine are only a few dollars apart. But the 2 stroke is 1/2 the price of the gas. That would leave more in the budget for a better radio.
