And I would also like to get a charger, doesn't have to be fancy or multiple charge, just do the job of charging, and preferably in the cheaper range, if anyone could recommend one that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'd recommend these Corona servos over the Hextronik ones: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10344

You've selected the wrong battery, you want the zippy flightmax 2200mah 3S, not 2S.
$9 for the 20C www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6306
or $11 for one with a little more grunt www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7636

If you plan on running 4 or more servos, you also want one of these: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3735

Those SF E-props are very flimsy and easily broken if it ever even strikes dirt. These props are twice as expensive, but work out cheaper because they last ten times longer:
www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8021
www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8024

This charger looks like just what you want:
www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7028

But you'll also need a power supply for it, i got one of these and it works great: cgi.ebay.com.au/Notebook-Universal-96W-AC-Power-Supply-Charger-Q119-/260526819406?pt=Laptop_Adapters_Chargers&hash=item3ca89bc84e#ht_3958wt_905

If you are getting a few battery packs, and want to charge them all at once, you can't go past one of these nifty little gadgets: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=14856

Have you figured out what you're doing for your motor mount?

[cubflyercameron]

Hey thanks Dillzio, I swear I changed the 2S for the 3S before i posted but obviously not .

The reason i opted for the SF props is because the master airscrew were on backorder and i have them on my cessna, and seem to be fine. I've cut them out of the order though, and will get some masterairscrew when I'm down south on holiday tomorrow.
I put one of those chargers in my cart, thanks for the recommendation, I would have been lost without it, not to good on chargers. Just wondering, will the IMAX power supply work with it? www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6477
also updated to the corona servos, as you said, thanks for that.

I have already made my own mount I cut the gear box off so it is flat, and spray painted it a nice yellow, I then cut and shaped a piece of 3mm extra strong laminate, like the surface of a kitchen bench, only right the way through, very strong and light

thanks for your recommendations, I shall post the updated cart shortly

Updated cart: trying to get the weight down so i can get the under 2kg postage which is quite a lot cheaper

nice looking cart, it should be a very nice bird with all that great gear in it. I'm just wondering about the one battery, that's going to be a pain. It's nice to have at least two or three, having to go home and recharge after a 12 minute flight is a real PITA.

Yeah, that IMAX power supply looks like it will be fine.

Might be worth ordering some spare motor shafts with your order.

[Dillzio]

I think the best places to get spare shafts and prop adaptors for those turnigy motors from is either plus2city or giantcod

[ginginho]

To get the weight down, ditch the BEC unless you are going with more than 4 servos, and the programming card. OTOH, another pack (as Dillz says) is well worth getting, maybe more than one more. With that motor you don't need the 25C packs, the 20C will deliver enough power for that motor.

If you can source an old PC, use the PSU out of that, +12v on all yellow wires, Ground on all black.

[cubflyercameron]

Thanks for the replies, I went with the 25C because the 20C were on backorder, and I went with one, because i can keep the weight down, and get them relatively cheap here in New Zealand. Thanks Dillzio for the kind words. When I get home, I will take a pic of my own air strip I fly off, and attempt to put it up. I mowed my ow runway in our paddock, the grass is like a Golf course green from mowing every second day

Thanks SCC I'll put some in my cart when I get home from my Holiday.

I don't thing I will ditch the BEC because if i want to do more mods, like a bomb gate or possibly flaps, the added servos won't be a problem, and I'd have to purchase one anyway

Thanks for the help everyone

So I still haven't ordered from hobbyking due to School and getting my full license, and I've just come across items on our local trading site trademe, that are actually cheaper that hobbyking! I found a Turnigy park 480 for $10 a Hobbyking 40A blue series ESC, 3 HXT UBEC's for $20 and some HXT servos that are $5 (thats cheap in NZ!) so all I will need to order from hobbyking now are the charger, the TX and RX and servo extension leads, and various other bits and pieces like batteries, connectors etc.
Oh and I already have an E flite 30A ESC so that will go into my Cessna.
