Default RE: bcma 40cc for 13lb. plane?

what kind of servos are you guys using? this is my first "large" plane and i'm a little undecided.

i'm thinking servos with about 160 oz-in. of torque for the rudder, at least 80 each for the elevator (2 servos) and about 100 oz-in for the ailerons?

also, what mah and voltage battery will i need for the ignition?

for the receiver/ servo battery, i'm thinking of using 2 1000 mah 4.8V ni-mh packs hooked up in parallel with 2 switches for saftey. i've heard from some people that you should use 2 receivers also, and others say it's ok to use just one but have 2 switches.
