That set-up will do just fine. Depening on your skill level and wallet, you may want to install 9252s on the aileron, elevator, and pitch servos.
The 3151s have brought me to where I'm at now and I feel I'm ready to jump up to the 9252 or better.
Thanks for the compliment. My wife does all the video footage and editing. I'm almost getting to the point that she doesn't need to edit much to match the music.
