Default RE: My Extra Special Setup..Post Yours

Well, I saved up and am ordering everything at once...

Connections: more than enough holes for 7 servos and 2 RX batteries
Extensions: Airwild twisted 22 AWG extensions
Servo Horns: SWB 1.5" single arm Double-Loc (ail/elv), 1.5" double arm Double-Loc (rudder)
Battery: 3 TBM 2350Mha Li-Ion, 2 for servos 1 for ignition
Regulator: 3 Duralite 6.0V regulated fail-safe switches
Engine: DA-50R
Prop: Menz 22x8 for break-in (MSC 22x10 or 23x8 after 4 gallons)
Spinner: TBM Carbon Fiber 3 1/2" Ultimate Style
Standoffs: Desert Aircraft Stand-offs with plywood spacers
Tank: Dubro 24oz gas converted, Tygon fuel tubing, Dubro fuel line barbs, tank filter at http://www.jerseymodeler.com/id9.html
Oil: Lawn-Boy Ashless (break-in), Amsoil (after 4 gallons)
Wingtube: TBM Carbon Fiber (1.25" x 3')
Stab tube: TBM Carbon Fiber (1/2" x 17.25")
Tailwheel bracket: RC Blimp Carbon Fiber (purchased from TBM)
Main gear: Wild Hare Fiberglass
Main wheels: Kavan 3.5" Tires (3 oz less than dubro)
Instrument Pannel: none
Pilot: none (tinted canopy)
Wingbags: still deciding on which ones
Hardware: Rocket city/Nelson---7 strand brass-coated stainless cable for rudder, Titanium Pro-Links, 3W fuel dot (DA has one now, but I already bought mine)
Decals: AMSOIL, DA, Wildhare Rabbits, Troy Built Models, JR, Duralite and "Pilot Albert Hibpshman" decals from www.bindersign.com

Seal hinge gaps with clear Ultracoat
Throttle/choke servos are powered from the ignition battery and use fiber optic extensions for the signals from the RX
Rubber gromet around inside of cowl cut-out to prevent chafing of ignition wire

OUTSTANDING prices on everything from www.troybuiltmodels.com (TBM)!!!

EDIT: I've been told by a few experienced modelers that today's ignition systems do not require that I use fiber optic extensions, so I am eliminating them and saving $100 in the process. Just thought I'd let everyone know!
