I have a new Ascent on the way to me which will be my second RC model. Other than the stock Speed 400 motor, an existing 25 amp ESC & a Futaba 2.4Gb radio that I already have, I will be putting together a control & power package for it from scratch.

What would be a good Lipo battery pack, servos & prop for it? I'm not interested in blistering climb speed or aerobatics, just a good performing park flyer E-glider. I have a Triton Jr charger which will charge Lipos but I believe I'll need a cell balancer as well. What cell balancer would be a good value?

At a later date, I'll probably transition to a brushless out runner motor. I would like my initial package to be compatible with this upgrade as well. I know a different ESC will be needed - but which one?

Replies will be very much appreciated.
