Cool, I was half thinking of grabbing one as a club trainer now that they're in the Aussie Warehouse.
My old walk around vid with specs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WCiH6yqMx4
Plane: Decathlon EP 48.9 inch ARF
Power: TR 35-48A 1100kv Brushless Outrunner & TURNIGY Plush 60amp Speed Controller
Battery: 3s 3000mAh
Servos: Corona Digital Servo 2.2kg / 12.5g / .11sec
Rx: Spektrum AR7000
Only change I made to that setup was going to a 13x4 2 bladed prop.
You can get away with less powerful motor but you MUST fly the aircraft, it wont tolerate any yanks and banks. When taking off it MUST have airspeed before you pull back on the stick and when landing you have to fly it down to the deck.
Very rewarding aircraft when you get all these things right
