Congrats on your purchase. The model is a beauty !.
My models of similar size are flown with Hitec equipment, and a single RX and battery pack. I've been using Hitec 645s for the control surfaces.
On my multi-cylinder engines, I have been using Electro Dynamic and McDaniels on board glow units. They may not be a necessity, but they do provide piece of mind. Your model is so nice that it may be a wise investment.
