Default Roo guts?

Hey folks...

I'm getting ready to build a Kangaroo and wanted to post a question or two. Thanks to Don at Planes Plus I'm all set for in the undercarriage department and the kit is about as complete as one could hope for. That just leaves servos, speed / thrust limiter, fuel tanks etc... So here we go...

Servos... JR digitals or Hitech? Price seems pretty close with Hitech having the advantage and as far as I can tell performance is damn near the same.

Fuel Tanks... I'm thinking the 2-liter Pepsi bottle is not the best route to take. What have some of you folks used? I see Todd has some sort of Kevlar tank in his. Where does a guy find one of those?

Speed / Thrust Control.... I'd like to keep the P120 from pushing the Roo to warp speed but want to have max thrust for take off. I'm guessing a speed limiter is the only way to do this. Any suggestions as to where I learn more about my options?

Remote fuel shut off... I've never felt the need for this in other models but I'd like to explore this option as well. What's out there in the lines of miniature fuel valves?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
