Help select electronics for my E-Flite Tribute
 
I am ready to place an order for the electronics for my Tribute. I plan to get the following items and would like to know what you think.

E-Flite Park 370
CC Pheonix 25
Hightec Electron 6 Receiver
4 Hitec HS-55 servos
Thunder Power 1320 Li Po 11.1v

Have a left anything off the list? Will I need any special connectors? I am new to electric flight and need as much help as I can get.

Sounds like a great setup. I believe the 370 comes with connectors to connect to the esc.
You need connectors for the esc to battery. I prefer Anderson PowerPoles (Sermos).
What prop are you using? GWS 12-6 slowfly prop is perfect with the 6.6:1 (D) gear.
The Tribute is a very good flying 3d foamy. I think you will love it.

Your setup is exactly what I have and what is recommended and the plane is AWSOME!! It is the first electric plane that I think lived up to all the hype about it. Mine hovers at half throttle and I can then go vertical staright up till I am out of sight. I have the Ultimate waiting to be built and I can't wait.

Knighthawk, you will go crazy with the Ultimate. The Tribute is outstanding, but the Ultimate is even more fun.
It controls quicker, handles more wind, and torque rolls fast. When trimmed you can just set the radio down and watch it torque roll till the battery runs down. You can increase throttle and watch it torque roll up, decrease and watch it torque roll down.
