I agree with Dave, you'll have a better flying plane with RCSkydiving than you'll have with the Tribute. If you want more than basic performance, you'll need a good brushless set-up like a Himax 2015-4100 with a 6.6:1 gearbox or a Himax 2812-850 outrunner (no gearbox) with a 3s1P li-po and an 18-20 amp ESC. HS-55's or the 5 gram Blue Arrows or 5 gram Blue Bird servos will work fine. You can usually find almost everything on ebay. Dpending on your area you might need a small dual conversion receiver like an FMA, unless you're in an area that doesn't have much interference, and then you can go with one of the inexensive GWS single conversion receivers. I know brushless is expensive, but in the long run you'll save money because the motors last much longer than the cheap brushed motors and the performance is unbelievable.
