I am almost done building a POS Zivko Edge 540 ( 45 Inch Wingspan 3 1/2 Lb Flying Weight). I have been flying Electrics for a couple months, and my origional plan was to convert this ARF to electric, however a LHS went out of business and I was able to get a brand new OS 46LA Dirt Cheap, So I've decided to use this Ugly ARF as my Virgin Nitro experiment. I am completely unfamilair with Nitro - I've been strictly Electric.

Here is what I got at the LHS Going out of business sale:

OS 46 LA (with muffler & glow plug)
Fuel pump
Silastic Tubing
Electric Starter (fits on the nose cone)
Reciever(s)

Here is what I think I need:

1) 6.0 Volt Battery Pack with switch (I use Spektrum tx/Rx)

2) Fuel - (Not sure of type , apparently there are various Nitro % ??)

3) I've also seen people use a stick that goes on the glow pug - Not sure what its called

I would really appreciate your input of anything else I need, including any Brands you really like or Products I should avoid


Thanks
