Brett, Welcome to the addiction, did your plane come with the motor, if so is it the speed 400 or 380, your choice of TX is a good one and the ESC should work fine, I would be carefull about getting too heavy a battery though, the 1150 will weigh about 6 to 7 oz. the smaller servo's will be fine, actualy better because you want to keep your weight down. I have heard a lot of good things about this plane so I think your going to be happy with it, You may want to consider going brushless and lipo right off the batt as if you stay with this hobby your gonna go there eventualy anyway We all do.
I can vouch for the 1050 batt packs with the 400 motor to be a good match and you can get very decent flight times for nimh
I could get 8 to 12 min with mine, weight was 5.2 oz
I hope this helped some, Good Luck
