Default Assistance in matching equipment for multiengine

Hey,
Can anyone answer some of these questions, this is my first multiengine electric?

Flying wing 69"
Should be 48 oz total with everything.
Four GWS 350C 3.75 to 1
Flaps, Elevons and Retracts, with Clamshell Rudders
No Idea wing loading modified it to keep it light and I only had half the plans.

Questions:
What type of radio will I need to run all of this?
Will I need a bigger battery than the norm since I have 9 servos?
What type and how many ESC's will I need?
Batteries, what type and size? Prefer something that a charger is not $100.00.

Sorry no pics, computer needs a tune up.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ummm, you sure you're ready for this?
You'll need two channels for the elevons, one for the flaps, one for rudder/steering, one for retracts, and one for throttle control. So that's 6 channels for the tx, with mixing capabilities.

As for the battery, with out knowing what's the "norm", it's hard to tell you. Running nine servos means you need to have a very stout bec in the esc for the motors, or a stand alone bec to handle the load.

As for an esc, we'll need to know are you going brushed or brushless motors, and exactly which motors and what size props, and how many cells in your pack.

You can run four brushed motors on a single esc, but not 4 brushless motors on a single esc.

And again as for the batteries, with out all your motor/esc/prop info nobody's going to fathom a guess on that one. Just not enough info.

Sorry.
