I have a Sig Cap 231ex and saito 150, a lot of fun and does some 3d but not unlimited (partly due to power limitations, partly due to pilot limitations). I have it on an 8 channel radio, 6 volt battery, decent servos, electrodynamics glow igniter, tru turn spinner and recommend all of the above to you,

It probably wouldnt hurt to have a little more power but I cant speak with direct experience about the 180. The 150 is fairly thirsty, the 180 will use even more fuel. I've got futaba 9202 servos but I'm sure other servos would be fine.
If you dont have the GP hinge cutting tool, now would be a good time to get it, along with a set of giant scale hinge blades. Hinging the control surfaces was the hardest part of building the kit and this tool really helps.

Get the 180 with 15% fuel and 18x6 propeller and 3D will be possible
