I like the larger size because I plan on using 6 channels with 6 servos in the future, for flaps and ailerons, etc.

Thanks.
What ever you do, DO NOT cut the ailerons to incorporate flaps. The wing is equipped with pockets for aileron servos. Just use these and create full span flapperons. This plane will not tip stall with flapperons at full down deflection, and the NextStar needs all the aileron throw it can get. By cutting them you just reduced the amount of aileron you have available. I can try and find pictures of one I put together for my son with the flapperons deployed if you want to see them.
