i would suggest building this plane with the BTE tailwheel. i have talked to people who have flown it both ways and all of them stayed with the taildragger config. plus the tailwheel form BTE is REALLY nice

.
i used standard ball berring servos on all control surfaces except the flaps. Bruce suggests a high torque servo so i went with a futaba 100 oz.
it sounds like the FK will fly with a saito 82 but everyone i know has gone with a 91 four stroke or larger.
