Thanks everyone for the good advice! I will definitely get hooked up with an instructor early on before I start my build process. As far as the radio is concerned I have a Futaba 7UAP Super. It's old but works fine and I didn't want to spend more money. I have a bunch of servos in a box but I might buy all new ones for my plane seeing as they are cheap.
If the servos work, there's no need to buy new ones. Just make sure you pick out four of them that still turn quickly and smoothly without hesitating or buzzing.
Sounds like you're all set!
