I have the power! ...or do I?

I gotcha. Cool! thanks for your help. It seems like the Fromecos are the way to go, and I looked up the IBEC so maybe I'll do that too!

The Tech-Aero is the best one to get. Keeps it nice and simple

The power safe rx's with 3 sats are what I would recommend. Add two 3900 mah 2s lipo batteries and the Tech Aero IBEC for your ignition. Also if you are buying servos make sure all of them are HV. You might as well at this point. More torque, better speed, and simply.....better.

Okay. One of my buddies mentioned that too... I may go that route. I know the ignitions don't use a lot of voltage...

Okay... All I'm lacking are the aileron servos. I need 4. I have the Futabas in the elevators and then that single JR rudder servo... but if I go to 2 I'll put in the same as the ailerons.

You don't need HV for the ignitions. In fact most are not designed to take it. The HV is for the servos and the extra amount of power that's needed on the control surfaces of 3D planes this big.

The 7954's you have are HV and plenty for ailerons.

consider either the Hitec 7955 or one of the Savox servos in this range.

So, for example on the AR9110 PowerSafe, it has battery leads... but I already have the Smartfly system... so wouldn't that be redundant? What about the AR9020 which is full range with 2 sats? I already have an AR8000 too, which has never been opened.

Use the 7954, 7955 on the throttle as well. Do not put a cheaper servo there.
