I am looking at ordering a TREX 450 v.2 helo form allerc.com this weekend. I have a Futaba 9C radio and would like to stay Futaba is able but understand that some components are better made by different companies. Let me know what you think about this setup and if there is a better selection on something let me know. I don't like buying things simply because they are cheaper, I prefer quality and am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I also want to be able to use the equipment in other micro helis is I so choose.

Here are the components I am 99% sure about so far:

TREX 450 v.2 with Hybrid aluminum swash
Futaba GY401 gyro no servo (Do I need a servo for this?)

Now the components listed on the site but again I would prefer to get Futaba or another make if there is something better out there:

GWS Picco +F/BB Micro servos (Not exactly sure how many I need and is there a Futaba servo as small and of better quality)
GWS RD8 SS Dual conversion Rx (Was hoping there was a Futaba equivalent)
Thunder Power 11.1 volt, 2100 MAH Gen 2 LiPoly Batt pack (Or should I stick with a 1320 MAH for weight?)
Hyperion Titan 50A HI-PRO Brushless ESC w/BEC (Again hoping there Futaba ESC that would be a better choice)


Needed equipment:
Please recommend a Brushless motor and anything else I forgot to mention.

I am new to helos and electric as well. I fly gas planes (and big planes LOL)

I know I just asked a ton of questions and I appreciate all your help. Thanks everyone.
