so I said screw it and started buying some things from a local place, its really not much more money,its better stuff and if something fails I can go to the store. I bought the wheels,fuel tank,monokote(yellow),fuel line and 4 futaba servos to start with.. 3 are a basic servo they were like 11 bucks each and one has metal gears and was like 35 bucks. one person said to use the metal gear servo for the rudder because of the extra strain from the tail wheel but the other guy said to use it for the ailerons any thoughts? Like I said before I am an auto mechanic by trade so naturally I would want to install the biggest engine I can get my hands on lol but if the smaller engine would make it fly better I will stick with that. I plan on finishing up the wings this week if I have time. Next thing I plan on buying is a radio and battery, I looked at some radios they said this would be good for me Spektrum DX6i DSMX 6channel any thoughts? What battery pack should I go with?
