I believe the plane is heavier than my big boy and I used a G26 on mine. I would build it a taildragger for sure because that would save some weight. I'm using HS 475 (4) on the ailerons and HS635s (2) on elevators and HS645 (1) on rudder. 2000mHa battery gives me plenty of flights in one day. I was at a flyin last summer and saw the rep fly it and he amazed me with what he could do with it. You wont be flying real fast so those servos should be plenty strong.
