RE: Electric question
I'm not familiar with that particular set up. No matter whether it is a brushed motor or brushless motor, you will need an ESC (electronic speed control) between the battery and the rest of the equipment. Brushed and brushless require different types of speed controllers though. In most of these the ESC eliminates the need for a seperate receiver battery as the ESC has an internal regulator that provides the proper voltage (usually 5 volts) to the receiver electronics while it still provides the higher voltage to the motor. The ESC also usually has a voltage cut off built in which will cut the power to the motor when the batteries approach their lower limit yet still provides adequate power to the servos to permit a dead stick landing. It is especially important that the ESC has this feature if you are using LiPo's else you will almost certainly ruin your LiPo's after the first flight or two. The sugestion to check out the electric portions of these forums is a good one. Even better, if your club has any flyers experienced in electric propulsion, check with them before spending any money on any system as many of the lower priced units, IMHO are seriously underpowered and doom you to instant failure.
