| I have two Furys. And I fly for MA. You don't need any of those upgrades. The ali bellcranks will work, but will offer you little or no performance increase. The motor will run fine and cool with the stock fan. If you want an ali fan because it might be easier to mount the magnet, then go for it. At least for the forseeable future, you need that ali tail case and bell crank like a hole in the head. I would suggest that you buy a few extra servo arms. Each arm is a little different, and it is very important to get the arm as square on the servo as possible without using subtrim. You can live without the 8417 on the throttle. Do use a good quality servo there, though.
I fly for Futaba, and of course I know the 5000 is excellent. Do be aware, though, that the 6000 is already on the market overseas and will likely appear over here in the near future. Don't pay too much for a gyro that won't be the creme of the crop for much longer. The GY401 is one heck of a good deal, no matter where you purchase it.
The ProFlex starter ext. works beautifully.
Maybe buy the engine, electronics, exhaust (right sided on the Fury BTW), and a few necessary completion items, then add on the extra support stuff as you go along. There really is nothing to be gained from buying all at once, and you might discover some things that you either don't need or don't like. Try not to spent a gazzilion dollars all at once.
