Default Parts Help

Hello all, I've recently found that I am at a place in my life where I have the time and money to get involved in a hobby I have wanted to pursue since I was a kid. I have decided to go with an easystar as my first plane, but have considered going with a better transmitter rather than buying the RTF kit. I have already purchased the model off hobbylobby's back to school sale yesterday, so now I need all the components to make it work. Here is where I am at:

Sorry if this really isn't the forum to get this nitty gritty but I wanted to make sure all the parts I'm looking at will work together.

-Futaba 6EXAS 6-Channel Micro FM/3 S3110 Servos 57
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...I=LXJUV757&P=ML
This seems like a nice radio, and I think I can deal with the smaller servos, unless I am horribly mistaken.

-Great Planes ElectriFly C-25 Mini Brushed ESC w/BEC
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...?&I=LXKBF4&P=ML
In trying to buy all the parts from one store to save shipping, this was the ESC that I came up with. If there is a better one out there or this is the completely wrong item let me know.

-I might be buying a charger from another forum's buy/sell area.

-I have looked through all of Towerhobbies batteries, and I don't know for sure which one will work with the ESC/RX that I am using. I think they all use dean's connectors, but what battery would I need. I couldn't find any 8 cell, 2/3A 1150mah batteries that looked right on the website, so if I'm mistaken please let me know.


Thanks for all the help, and sorry if I need some hand-holding until I meet some electric flyers who can help me out in person.
