Any standard servos will work fine

Standard servos are more than enough for this plane

What a great choice in planes You have made.  Add 1/2" to the rudder and it's even better.

Whatever kind you get....just put them as far forward as possible as this plane requires about 6,000 lbs. of weight in the nose to get the balance.

+1 on the larger rudder, plus replace the landing gear with Dubro - stock gear is crap.

I've flown mine so much, I just wore through one of the CA hinges...

I use most everything supplied in the kit, The plane sits down like a feather floating on a breeze, if you bend the LG you have really done something wrong. Last month I built one completely stock, most of the others I have cut out wing bays depending on how well the student can fly. I also add to the rudder if the student is really good and getting into a lot of stunt flying. I have added to the elevator also but it isn't really required. Even in stock form the plane can do stunts pretty well. I have been using the 4* 60 as a teaching aid to building for my students first kit. Very nice build and no surprises. Good choice!!

My stock axle bent taxiing on a paved runway.

(The gear bent when I did something wrong!?!)

Anyway, the Dubro gear makes it fun to fly and quite durable. Couple weeks ago I got hit by an errand crosswind gust that kicked it from a nice smooth almost landing 12 inches off the deck to very short lived knife edge. Only damage was a broken prop.

Maybe Gray Beard can give me some tips on avoiding that crosswind issue?

As for the bigger rudder, it won't hold a knife edge well without it, and that slightly small rudder is the only issue. It tracks great, just falls off ever so slightly.
