Default Oh My not another new guy

I was given a used balsa wood bi plane that sez ultimate on the side it has about a 36 inch wing span and has 1 of servos still on the plane. The h55 hitec I'm guessing is a micro. I'm looking to install a esc , servos and I'm questing about a 36 compatible out runner. 3 being over 11 volts would fry the 4 volt servos so I think a bec will be needed. I know what a BEC is and what it does but have never used one before. I race 5th scale dirt oval cars with 2 stroke hp motors so I have some knowledge of rc's and the way things work but electric airplanes loose me with all the choices. Being my 1st plane I plan on a very short existence for this plane so low 3rd parts are ok but I would rather be over powered than under......
I currently use the airtronics m11 for my surface racing but a few guys have said the 2.4 may not be as good as the FM 75 mhz systems. As I bang my head on the wall pl3ase lend this bone head a helping hand. I also have a Jr cub on the way to train with and I picked up a trashed dynam 4 channel.foam for parts it has a 1200 kv out runner and a esc with no writing on it.
