As a bare min, you'll get off with a 5 ch tx.

As for prop make / type , I've always found that its all down to personal preference, but you just cant beat a large wooden prop and they are just beautiful to use !!!!

A plane that big (1/4 scale) and beautiful deserves a flat four, like the O.S. 3.2, 4 stroke. I'd love to build something like that some day, but I have no place to hangar one. Post some pics!
