You might try posting this in the "warbirds" section, or a moderator could move it. Good Luck! The Giant TF Stang is a great flying plane. Might want to check here http://www.top-flite.com/airplanes/topa0400.html , click on the review section, and you will find some good tips for this build.

I feel your engine will be weak. Be carefull. it won't have much vertical. Don't pull up too steep. It will want to snap roll.

Any standard servo should work on the ailerons as long as you use one on each side. I would mount them out by the ailerons.
