Hi, here is a quick rundown on common parts I use, the foam, servos, etc are all needed, the micro horns or carbon rod may or may not be needed depending on the model. You can always use cheaper parts, this is what I use and I know they work, ymmv.
Foam safe CA+ with accelerator for most glue joints.
3M-77 spray adhesive for laminating if needed.
Servos, I have used HS-55 servos for allmost all my gliders, they are light and I've had little failure using them. The hs-65 carbonite gear and HS-82 MG and HS-81's are all good too, heavier but more torque, not really needed for most of my rocket gliders.
Transmitter: I use a DX7, but this Dx6i has most of the same features, 10 model memory, mixing, flap switch for glide trim...pretty inexpensive.
Receivers, whatever you are comfortable with. I fly spektrum and use the AR400 now as it is full range.
Most receivers can run with 3.5V or better input so a larger capacity 1S battery(450mah) should work fine. Servos can run a tad slower at lower than 4.8V so you should check and make sure you are happy with your setup if you go with 1S. The 1S batttery should have a plug that is compatible with your RX.
You can go to Grayson hobbies and find most of these items or check your local hobby shop.
