Default E-Flite Tribute 3D please help

Hello There
I have a Futaba® 6EXA Radio. But I dont have any servos or anything with that.
Also I bougt E-Flight Tribute 3D. It says I need to buy

4 Sub-micro Servos
Large Servo Arms
4+ Ch Receiver
Li-Po Battery
Li-Po Charger

I'm not sure which ones to buy.
Can anybody suggest me with product numbers to buy above parts?
Especially the 4 sub-micros and the 4+ ch receiver.

thanks
babu.

You need to find out how many oz of torque each servo should have. Somewhere in the instructions it should provide that information.

You should check out the products at Bals Products http://www.balsapr.com/ The Blue Bird servos are very good.

I use the 308 MG in my Freedom 3D. The Freedom 3D uses a Mega motor, 6:1 gear box, 16x8 prop and flies on a 10 cell 3300 mah nimh pack. Performance is almost the same as a 40 size glow powered plane.

I don't think you will need servos as powerful as mine (50 oz @ 4.8 volts). I am not familiar with your plane, but you will probably want servos in the 25 oz range - Blue Bird 308 or GWS BP 106 or 107.

Someone in the electric forum or over at E-Zone http://www.ezonemag.com/ can provide more precise information.

the tribute is a light weight foam plane.....

something like the Hitec HS-55 or similar would be fine....
for RX, I use the Hitec 555, but any micro would be fine... the GWS is popular too... and small

I use a Thunder Power 3S1P 1320mAh lipo.. that or a smaller one would be fine... or something similar.....

Thanks guys. Please answer this for me too.
How do I make sure my radio talk with the receiver? Do I need to specify
the frequency when I buy the receiver? Or can I tune it in the receiver?

thanks
