Default RE: Plane recommendations for starting IMAC

Very comforting to hear good things about Seagull. People really seem to love their planes. This build will take place over the whole winter, so I plan on taking my time and doing things right. I will bookmark the links above and reference them for ideas. I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions - already I'm wondering what I'll use for battery (7V lipo with regulator or just a good 6V nimh?) and throttle servo. Stock or Pitts muffler? Also, apparently the plane can be set up with 2 servos in each wing, but some people who have the plane have not done this - I've got JR DS821 servos for the elevator and ailerons (72oz at 4.8v, will use 6v) and think this should be fine. Will do much higher torque for rudder.

I just got myself a digi-camera, so I'll try to do a build thread, and maybe even a user review.
