Sounds like good choices Nick, & more importantly good reasoning. That YS is sure to be way overkill in the power range for this plane though but then I fly a Funtana 90 with a Saito 1.50 so who am I to talk.

My Showtime is equiped with Hitec 5625 digitals all around except for the rudder which is a 5645. A 6 Volt 2700 mah NiMh battery to power everything & a first for me, a Polk 8 channel reciever. The neat thing about that is the reciever is synthisized so I can operate on any frequency I choose. It appears to work in either ppm or pcm mode and the price is very reasonable, under $80 delivered. A recent review in RC Report magazine on the smaller 6 channel Polk reciever was very favorable so I thought I would try one.

With the Saito 1.20 & the big batt. my plane will probably be just a tad porky but I doubt if it will affect the flying, if anything it may just be smoother in the air. I'll let you know. Hopefully I can find the time to get everything mounted up tonight and some test flights in before the weekend.
