Hey guys, love what I've been reading so far, and I've really enjoyed watching FliteTest.
I had a Hawk Sky until a few months ago (got lost in a move, long story ).
I've been wanting to build a nutball, and work my way up to an FT Simple Soarer.
My really basic newbie question is, where do you guys get the builder boards I see on the show? You know, the large green mats with graph paper-like marks on them. I did several googles, but I mostly found info about organizations for builders.
The other question is about parts for putting together a nut ball. I've combed through the parts suggested on the official nutball swappable article, and I've tried to find everything appropriate from HobbyKing's USA warehouse (trying to get it all together before thanksgiving so I can put it together on my 4-day break )
Here's what I found, would any of you guys be willing to give it a glance and see if anything is the wrong part, or if I have missed anything? I will of course pick up the foam board and piano wire locally (I hope).
I will probably make my own control horns out of tongue depressors, because I don't want to wait for international shipping.
Here it is:
Turnigy TG9 9g / 1.7kg / 0.12sec Eco Micro Servo (USA warehouse)

I promise the bitly links are legit, I just didn't want to paste in huge honking HK urls.
I was also worried about whether the prop would fit on the shaft of the motor, or whether it would work with the prop saver that comes with the motor (which I plan on using). Any ideas, guys?
Thanks in advance!
