Default Please Help Epic LT

I purchased an Epic LT 1.20, and am trying to get all of the materials together to assemble it. I have 2 questions and could really use some advice. I plan to fly this plane in a pretty scale like manner, no fancy aerobatics or anything like that. Probably a lot of low passes, and touch and gos.

1. What size servos are needed for this plane? It requires a 1.20 engine, but doesn't appear to be any bigger or heavier than most .60 size planes. The instructions are not clear, but it calls for 10 servos. I assume they go as follows.
2ea Ailerons
2ea Flaps
1ea Rud
2ea Elev
1ea Throttle
1ea Front Steering
1ea ??????

2. What type of retracts do you recommend for a plane like this. The plane will weigh between 10 and 11 Lbs, and the right and left wings are seperate when removed. This will be my first experience with retractable landing gear. The plane is built for a rail type landing gear installation.

This is a nice plane, but there is hardly any info out there. I have found a couple of threads on rc groups forum that don't really offer much info beyond electric motor info.

Thanks for any help.
