Default RE: E-flite Ultimate FX

Thanks Jmir... the typhoon is a little cheaper but then again with a couple of replaced servoes and a li-poly setup it would be over $300 too, so I'm thinking of just going with the Ultimate... one thing that bothers me is that the Typhoon has a nice airfoiled wing and the Ultimate i think has flat sheet foam wings? The foam wings must be weaker structurally, aren't they? How fragile do you think these are?
Also, I would like to go with an outrunner to save the hassle of gearboxes, but in the case of a nose-in or noseover what are the chances that the outrunner shaft is going to bend? With a gearbox design it would be just replacing the shaft, I don't want to have to replace the entire outrunner. So how strong are these outrunner shafts?
Also, which plane flies better in 5 to 15 mph wind?

My probable setup is this:
20a BL ESC, Eflite 1320mah lipo, celectra 1-3c charger, Eflite Park 370 4100kv BL inrunner, and a JR Sport 4ch with 3 sub-micro SM15 servoes. Should i go with 2 servoes for ailerons, making 4 servoes total? and should I be using sub-micro servoes or regular micros?

Thanks for the help in advance!
