Does the 36% Katana tend to come out tail heavy? I will have a DA-100, using a pull-pull rudder and li-ion batteries. I was originaly going to buy carbon-fiber wing and stab tubes, but I thought it was a lot of $$ for only a few ounces. I did buy carbon fiber gear for the mains and tail wheel.

If they tend to come out tail heavy, I will order a carbon fiber stab tube if you think it will make much difference. How much weight does the carbon fiber stab tube save?

Thanks!!!

So really just build it carefully and pay attention and you will be fine.

How much do you guys charge for a carbon fiber stab tube?

How long would it take to get it?

Thanks again!
