Default Vector Flight Edge 540?

Excellent, thank you for the answers.

Do you have any idea what the set ups are for the elevators and rudder? How many servos are needed? I'm trying to put the budget together and am just curious...

The elevators are connected by two push rods that are joined in the fuselage, so only one servo is needed for them.

The ailerons use two separate servos, mounted in the middle of each wing half. The two wing halves are transports separately and joined together at the field, which is a definite pus point for me, as I have a small car!.

So 5 servos are needed. If you are on a tight budget, I would recommend you use a non-ball bearing servo for the throttle as they are less than $10.
