Engine will probably be a TH .75. I was going to try and use a small gasser, but after looking at the size of the plane, I don't think even a G20 would be small enough. I would have preferred a gas engine, but I don't think the plane will fly very well with a 3lb engine.

Servos:
Not sure yet. Probably some JR911 coreless on the ailerons. Hitec 225 on each elevator___maybe a single JR8231? Not really sure yet. I'll probably just grab what will work and toss them in there. I've got so many servos lying around that I haven't given it a whole lot of thought. I'll just grab some good, strong ones and slap 'em in there.

Guidance will come from my JR8103 and a Hitec 8ch PPM RX. Probably a 1500mah RX battery.

I'm shooting shotguns tonight after work, so no progress to note for today.
