Default Servos / flight pack for Sig 4* 60

Hi All-

I recently purchased this flight pack http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMHB2&P=7 for my Sig Four Star 60 I am working on. This will be my second glow plane, I am currently learning to fly with my Great Planes PT-40.

I am starting to wonder if I made the right choice in terms of servos. Should I have gotten the digital servo flight pack instead?

Can I use a mini servo to control the throttle and save a little weight? I want to build this plane as light as possible.


I am also thinking about getting a 2.4ghz radio (I have a Futaba 4YF now), which would come with a flight pack. Would it make more sense to return this flight pack I just bought, and get the new radio now so I don't have an obsolete receiver down the road? I would love to have a 6 or 7 channel radio for my 4* so I can have flaperons.

Any advice would be helpful, I am confident in my building skills, just a little lost with component selection...
