Default RE: Aeroholics Anonymous???

I have too many projects for my budget at the moment, and currently the only plane I'm solo'd on sucks badly... (its' a Nexstar I screwed up a bit putting a supertigre .40 on and a couple other things, it doesnt' fly as well as it used to, stole those for my second plane), second plane is a .40 size sukhoi SU 31 I got off of ebay, fun plane but I don't have a good radio (skysport) so I can't tone it down very well, and it's having some snap roll problems even after moving the CG up pretty far, we're getting closer...

third plane is the one you guys would care about, the 85" KMP Extra 330 that I'm putting the Mac 32cc engine on, my current budget hasn't let me get all of the radio equipment yet, looking for a good deal on a 6+ channel computer radio (Futaba or Hitec preferabally), already have a Futaba R127 reciever for it, just need to gather servo's (and need to figure out what size of servo's I need, it has room for one standard size on each wing, one 1/4 scale servo hole for the rudder and two standard size holes in the tail for the elevator, any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated...). test started this engine the other day, quite exciting, I want to get it done, it should be my best flying plane, not the best power to weight ratio by far (sukhoi has a .46 FX and only weighs about 5.5 pounds) but it should fly good and be fun (not to mention basically only having a radio into it...)

I have a few engines on the bench too, a homie 25, a craftsman 32 and a lawnboy 25 (70's or 80's stihl knockoff), need to get my recently acquired metal lathe up and running, I guess I just need to realign the motor and get some bits...
