I'm thinking acording to the gws slowstick spesifications on the internet 7-12 amp, depending on which esc, if it's a nano, or micro. but I may can use something a little bigger, if thats all you have. I'll make it work if I have to find a bigger plane or what ever to put it in. Something other than the slowstick.
Thanks so much, I hope you and your wife, and family have a Wanderful New Year
Edit: I just found out a 20 amp esc, if it's light will work, like a CC20

Well, I know I have a 25A ESC laying around. I'll call the wife tonight and let her know to get it ready to be sent out. Go ahead and PM me with your mailing address friend. Thanks friend.

You will need a non-usa frequency reciever (I think you need 35Mhz, but check). The rest of the electronics are the same. You'll need a motor and ESC for it and decide on brushed or brushless. You'll need servos of a proper weight and torque.
From what I could find out about your plane, it originally came with everything (RTF). The servos (3 or 4 depending on version) were 9gram; pretty east to find. It had both a brushed 480 direct drive motor and a 1530KV brushless motor version.
Hope that helps.

Isn't it a bit over the top to make additional requests from him, above and beyond what he has listed?
