Putting together a 4 Star kit (my second kit and third plane). I have a Airtronics RDS8000 Tx, Airtronics 92824 Rx, Futaba S3004 servos and a Racers Edge Peak 1600 Rx battery (5 cell). How do I make the connections? The servos have a different plug then what the Rx will take. Heck, I can't even charge the battery since the plug won't fit the Airtronics charger.

Is this a good combination?

Is the above battery appropriate for this aircraft?

Where is a good resource to read about the different batteries and their use and maintenance?

Everything you have is good.

All you need to do is to shave the tab off of the Futaba servo plugs and they will fit.

I thought about shaving them off but wanted to ask because I didn't want ruin a perfectly good servo.

Then I shouldn't have a problem with the Great Planes Switch/Charge Jack Mounting set? The one where the charging jack is mounted to the fuse?

What about the battery resource?

Thanks for the help and fast response!!
