Default RE: flying by the seat of my pants!

thanks oldschool! since this is my first boat, and i didnt do any planning, i'm rather impressed myself. i cant wait for the next project.
jetpack, thanks once again. i can see i'm gonna have to spend alot more time here. you guys are full of fantastic idea's.
i ended up fashioning a front light out some brass tubing before i read the epoxy mold trick. alittle green model paint also fixed my color problem.




i picked up my radio. its a magnum 2pl am radio by futaba. pistol grip, 2 channels and dirt cheap. figured i'd keep it for this boat and move on to a better radio for the steam ship when im ready (end of the year) my girlfriend always has a hard time purchasing xmas gifts for me anyway.

i ordered a miniture speed control and mini servo. i'm still unsure about the battery and motor though. i need one as small as possible, so i'm thinking lithium ion. i'm still confused how i match up the speed control, motor and battery pack with the correct voltage.

what do i need? thanks again
