Default First plane. Can I skip a trainer?

Ok, here's an update for everyone. I found a really good deal on a NIB Zen 50, and went ahead and purchased it for three reasons.

- I saw it mentioned here in this thread

- As I stated I bought it at a great price.

- I have a Saito FA-50 that I purchased years ago but never got around to installing it in a plane, so I thought I'd put it to use.

So, did I make the right move? I figured I might have to take things slower with this plane but I'm fairly patient when it comes to flying.

Will the FA-50 work fine with this plane? And lastly, what servos do you recommend I use? I'm thinking of possibly using JR 531s all around except for the retract servo. I guess another way of putting it is, in general, what torque is usually recommended for the different controls for a 40-50 size aircraft?

Thanks again!
