Default RE: Purple Brushless Electric Ultimate BiPe

Hi guy's, I'm soon to be a newcomer of biplanes since I looked at my girlfriends visa statement. I don't think I can wait till Christmas...... so now that I know what I'm getting I figure the sooner I buy an elect. setup the better. I've never flown any planes driving more than 2 servos, I have a parkzone brushless stryker and j3 cub but I do fly a number of 6ch helicopters. I've got a simulator and practicing on the e-flite ultimate which I can already fly patterns on pretty good after a few hours.

I plan on using this speed controller http://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDH...idProduct=2164 , will it drive the 4 servos without a problem or should I get a ubec and separate battery? I notice no one else is really running a separate bec so I'm guessing it's not really necessary. With my hei's I only use a bec when the weights over 500g or using more than 3s batteries.

Also considering motors since I'm a newb to biplanes I was looking at this motor, http://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDH...idProduct=3886 and using a low throttle curve until I'm comfortable doing more maneuvers. Is this way too much power with direct drive for this plane? or will I be ok if I'm driving the motor under 80% of it's potential power?

I'm going to use my 20c 1700mah 3s1p batteries and 20c 1800mah 3s lipo's I use in my helicopters for this plane

Thanks for any help
