Thanks a lot. For the battery, I'll be using the Li-Po 5S1P 3300mAh 18.5V 22C
and 4x HS-425BB for the servos. For the prop, i think ill use a 16x8. Would all these things make a good 3D/pattern flying plane? Sorry, This is going to be my first aerobat and I'm only 13.

I'm using an AXI 4120/14 with 4S-1P 20C 4000 MAH Pack, Swinging a APC 14/7 prop. Weight is 86 ounces and thrust to weight is 98.9%.
I originally had a AXI 4130 on it and using 5S-1P 5000 MAH it flew OK, but was overweight by about 20 oz. Now that I have reduced the weight by 20 oz, it flies much better, and landings are much better. Havent taken the gear off in a long time.
I use an FMA VRL-1 Voltage regulator and a separate 2S - 1P Lipo for Servos and Receiver. Castle creations 60 AMP ESC, and it draws 57 AMPS at WOT. Flight times are in the range of 12-14 minutes. Inverted flight requires no down Elevator at all at half throttle, which is where most of the flight is done. Batteries come down cool to cold.
I'm using the Hitec HS225MG servos all around and they have no problem. My Transmitter is Futaba 9C with the XPS Spread Spectrum Module and 8 channel receiver.
