Default Help with setup please.

Hi guys,
I'm a pretty accomplished F3C and 3D RC heli pilot who has decided to give 3D planes a go for times when I feel like need something different.
I had my first flights last weekend on a Sig Fazer and can takeoff, land, circuits, inverted, basic aerobatics etc.

I've brought my first plane, a 70inch Edge 540 (don't want to muck around with smaller ones) and I have a spare OS 91 lying around that I was thinking of putting in it. I also have a spare Hatori 700 tuned pipe lying next to it.

A mate and I found a calculator for calculating props on the net and we found that a 15x5 prop spinning at about 12,500rpm would give 20lb's of thrust.

As I am new to planks, I'd appreciate any forsight you can give. While helis will remain my priority, I'd really like to get into 3D fixed wing.

Thanks very much!
Si
