It's possible to get cheaper versions of some of the components, like a cheaper gyro or tail servo (could use S3114 for tail instead of S9650 Digital Servo). But the performance would be degraded a bit (tail would be a bit less "firm" and responsive).
The size of the cutouts for the 3 control servos are the same as a Hitec HS-55 servo (which can also be used, but the S3114 has better numbers). The S3114 servos are slightly short for the cutouts, but they can be made to fit by elongating the mounting holes on one end. Mine are in that way and have never loosened.
See below for some battery options. I'm a big fan of the FMA Direct Cellpro batteries and chargers.
