Default What is the ultimate setup????

Hey guys,

I helped my father-in-law build a fan fold foamy this last week. We test flew it and I have to say, even though I am not a huge electric fan, I REALLY LIKED THIS THING. Plane has a 38" span and ended up weighing in at 15.5 oz. He is using the NIPPY BLACK 1200 series motor. For the control surfaces, he used the HS55 servo. CC speed control and an MPI RX with a TP 1320 3s Bat.....

Question I have is.......

I know that the Nippy Black is an older motor and there are newer lighter and stronger motors. As for the RX, speed control and servos, I really don't have a clue what there is for light weight with high performance. SO, what would be the best electonics package for a 16 oz plane that should be able to perform all 3D manuevers and have power to spare? I want to build the lightest possible plane with the most power (just like everyone else!!)

What is would be the better motor choices?
What would be the better RX choices?
What would be the better speed controller choices?
What would be the better servo choices?

I will most likely stick with the TP 1320 3S pack

If you know what the items weigh, please list the weight.

Thanks guys
