Default RE: GP Ultimate .40 Size

HI,
I am just finishing a GP ultimate bipe and I put a os 91 fs on it. I haven't flown it yet, I am still adding the control hornes and fuel tank, then I'll be done. I had a Global Ultimate and I loved it. But it wouldn't do any 3D stuff with the .46. I tried to put the 91 on it, but the 91 was too heavy and the thing flew on the prop instead of the wings.
To remedy this, I decided to build this GP kit and add a few inches to each wing tip to make up for the extra weight of the engine. Well a few inches turned into 6. so I added aabout 2 feet of total wing! I also moved the servos and battery to the back of the fuse, and I am using 2 elevator servos and a pull-pull rudder. This thing should fly great. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
Has anyone ever heard of someone else doing this? Some input would be helpful as I have never done anything like this before.
Thanks.
