Default Need help with shock flyer setup.

I am building a shock flyer extra 330s. This will be my first foam plane. I have flying rc gas for about 17 years and helis for about 1.5 years. I have an e-flite blade cp heli. I also have a sail boat, mini losi lst 4X4 1/18 scale truck and nylint 1/6 scale rock crawler. I would like your opinion on the setup I might use for my shock flyer. If you don’t mind can you take a look and let me know if the components I want to use will work ok?

Extra 330s

Castle Creations thunderbird 9A http://www.greathobbies.com/products...prod_id=CCRTB9 or this one http://www.greathobbies.com/products...?prod_id=CCR07

Motor PJS 3D 300 sfr http://1301774.estore.networksolutio...etail.bok?no=5
(this motor might be a little big for the plane I’m not sure but I got it real cheap, My friend is building the same plane and he is using the axi 2204/54 ) what do you think of the motor I am using?

Kokam 2 cell/340 http://www.greathobbies.com/products...d_id=KOK340H2S what other battery would you say I could use maybe for longer flight flying indoor or out? 3 cell? 2 cell more mah?

Servos e-flite sub micro s75http://www.greathobbies.com/products/productinfo.php?prod_id=EFLRS75
Or hitec hs 55 http://www.greathobbies.com/products...od_id=HITHS55S witch servo do you think is better?

Prop? Not sure witch to use? Maybe a GWS 9X4.7 prop?

Receiver – maybe this one? http://www.greathobbies.com/products...rod_id=GWSR4PF
Or http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXLBY8&P=ML what do you think.

I don’t have a local hobby shop the nearest one is almost 4 hours drive away and most times when I order from them they don’t have the stuff in stock. I live in Canada and sometimes I order from tower hobbies in the USA.

Well if you don’t mind take a look at my list and let me know what you think. I would really appreciate your opinion.

Thanks,
