You might want to get a 5-chl Rx so that you can use the Gear/Aux channel for the camera shutter.

You may need some JST or Dean micro connectors for the battery pack and motor connections.

I do not believe the Sloper SS comes with landing gear. If true, then get some BIG foamie wheels and hefty hobby piano wire.

Be sure to replace the aluminum wing tubing with brass. Add some strapping tape along the wing to stiffen it.

Lastly, you didn't mention props -- careful selection is required.

With the Himax 2025 series, you should consider the 25 amp speed controller. I use the 10 amp controller with the 2015 series, but I still have to be careful and prop my planes carefully. The 2025 is going to have an even greater amp draw.

Just a suggestion.

I would just get the whole SS kit. You can always use a extra gear box and prop so the price over the slope version is a wash. I run the 2015-4100 with the P-25 and a Thunder Power 2100lipo. Plenty of power. Here's one from the lake camp..

Good call on the Berg receiver. I have been very happy with my Berg 6 GIII.
