FT Flyer build questions?

[KItbag]

Hi,

I know very little about rc planes, so sorry in advance for the simple questions.

I've never built a plane before and fancy giving the FT Flyer a go. I have some very simple questions (to begin with anyway)

1) what type of push rods should I use?
2) what type of Clevis should I use?
3) I have a Spektrum DX5e transmitter; will I be ok using any receiver that has the DSMX or DSM2 standard?

I'm planning on buying most parts from hobbyking so if they have something I should use then that would be great.

Thanks

1.2mm or 1mm piano wire is good
2.usually for push rod you can make a z bend on one end of the wire(which connects to the control horn) and use a linkage stopper on the servo.
3.Yup!!

I'm not sure about the typical weight, but mine comes in at 300 grams without a battery.
