Default Outlaw Flyers

I purchased two Outlaw kits (One short-One long) this weekend. My only experience with a delta is a 28" Coroplast home made job with an OS 25 FX and 9x4 APC prop. It's about 80 or so miles per hour.

Having been bitten by the DeltaBug I thought I'd try something maybe a little snappier. Profile planes flutter at speeds greater than 80 or so!

What I intended is to use Hitec 225MG servo's for the Elevons with a HS85MG on the rudder and an 81MG (in stock) on the throttle. Planning to use a 6V pack for increased torque.

This afternoon I picked up a Webra Speed 32 to mount to the firewall and will bolt on a header and pipe.

1) What kind of speed can I expect with the Webra?
2) Are the 225's enough or overkill?
3) After viewing the plans and instructions I am considering internal or hidden elevon and rudder control. What about it? Is it worth the trouble?

Any tips on building, lightening or flying will be rewarded by a date with my fat, snaggle toothed, highly available sister!

Thanks-
