Default Setup Questions

Hello again. Oh aeropal, where are you?? hehe I need some help again

Here is the setup I want:

Plane: Graupner Mini Piper
Transmitter: Flash 5x on ch 59
Receiver: 4 channel GWS R4P Sub Mini Hitec/Futaba
comes with 39" antenna to increase range to 1000 ft
Crystal: UM-1 crystal on ch 59
Servos: 2 HS-55
ESC: GS-100E Speed Controller 5-Amp With Brake
Motor: Graupner Speed 300 Plus 7.2v
(says it comes with controller)
Batt pack: Graupner 6 cell 1000 mah nimh pack w/conn
Charger: CG-340 with two pin female JST connector
Prop: HLFK5555 4.9 X 4.3
Epoxy Glue - 5 min

Now for the questions:
1) Does this setup look feasable to you?
2) Do you see any problems with it?
3) Have I forgotten anything?
4) What about the battery having a controller already? Does that mean I don't need an ESC? I thought ESC was used for servos too.

All this is gonna run me about 250 bucks.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated,
Jeremy
