Default RE: Extreme Flight Extra 300, 78

i have just purchased this plane from EF and am looking forward to it.
i will be installing a saito fg 36 cc gasoline engine, 4 stroke. it will turn an 18 x 8 prop at 8000 rpm.
The engine, muffler, ignition, and mount weigh total 60 ounces. is this too much? will this make plane nose heavy, do i need to install rudder servo in tail??
i will also be using a tech aero IBEC.
i will also install a fiji tank 500 ml.
now, i need your help.
which servos are you all using?
how many servos do i need?? (1 rudder, 2 elevator, 2 aileron, 1 throttle)?
what in/ou servos for rudder/aileron/elevator minimal?
are you guys using standard receiver, or are you guys using a power safe vs smartfly vs power box?
are you guys installing the rudder servo in tail for push/pull?
think those are all the questions i have for now.
