Pat,

I presume you are talking about the transparent yellow, Ultra Stick 60.

If I'm not building for a kit review, I tend to replace much of the hardware, although many people use the stock stuff.
-Clevices: The Sullivan gold ones with the clip to hold them closed or the new DuBro square plastic ones with the clip are my 2 choices.
-Ball links: I use these on external servos, especially ailerons, then a clevice on the control horn end. I sometimes use a Z or L bend, but always find the hole in the servo arm wallows out.
-Pushrods: For that size plane, I recommend 4-40 all around. If you don't mind high dollar, there are carbon fiber rods with titanium ends.
-Control horns: Some people like the threaded type you can micro-adjust, but I tend to use the small DuBro heavy duty ones. The white ones, not the giant size, black ones.
-Motor mount: I wouldn't think you'd need a big DuBro vibration mount. As I recall, it's pretty heavy. The stock mount should work or a Great Planes 60-120 size has worked for my Saito .91s.

I would finish the plane and mount the engine, but not the radio and put the battery near the front of the radio compartment. Then I would rubber band servos in place to get a location that would give me a middle of the road CG. Many people put the rudder servo on top, just in front of the fin and use pull-pull. You also might end up with the elevator servo in the side of the fuselage in the rear. I hate to add weight. With the battery forward, you can move it back when you want a more rearward CG.

I forget how long the landing gear is and if it has clearance for a 14 or 15 inch prop.

Don't gorget to seal the aileron gap with clear tape.
