Ok rolling along did some more work on the plane. 3 servo's set up with the now trimmed control rods. CG is currently at the arrow and appears to be enough wiggle room once the wing / aileron servo / tail feathers are added I will be right on the money for the CG. The Battery should fit in the nose but there is room if need be to place it behind the landing gear and still clear the aileron servo. With the push rods trimmed and the tail wheel bracket installed. Im at 7.6oz with 3.4oz available for the balsa flying surfaces if to stay at 11oz less fuel.
If I had a 7x2 prop I would imagine 2:1 power to weight ratio if at 11oz
If with a 6x3 I will have about 1.6:1 ratio. not bad with the TD .051

Here's the layout
