I reenforced my front fuse by inserting 2mm CF rods into the fat part of the fuse from the front, worked great. As far as the dealing with the tail heavy issue, that's easy to correct with a slightly heavier battery. The stock Diablo battery weighs 4.6 oz. The EVO25 3s 1500mah weighs 4.37, even less by a few grams. I recommend a battery like a EVO25 2170mah at 6.1 oz, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRVZ3&P=0 You'll balance the plane better and enjoy longer flight times. The EVO25 2500mah weighs 7.3 oz and would balance good also without any modifications to plane.
The eflux tube is great idea. I never ran that motor so I am not able to comment on your proposed set up. Don't even bother with any mods to the trainer wing, go strait to the advanced wings and epoxy them to the fuse, magnets are not enough. I though about lightening my plane also but I felt like it would only weaken the plane.

Don't do it! Stay away! There is something about the plane that once you start you can't stop. It is a bottomless pit that will suck all of your money and time and keep you from enjoying the actual hobby of flying. I was struck but now I'm over it. On to bigger and better things.

After reading all 21 pages you still want to play. Ok, go ahead and play, play all day with the diablo. But remember, when all is said and done you did not heed the warning of those who have tried to sway you from the temptation of the evil one, you will have only yourself and the devil. I hope you know that diablo is devil in spanish.
One more thing, put a rubber band around the cockpit so the battery doesnt flop out in flight.

Status: offline 		lol ive spent 2000$ in rc this year alone and im only 14 years old l i have no money concerns the reason for keeping the trainer wing is the undercamber im not looking for speed otherwise i would buy another easyglider and put the edf back on it i have a wind tunnle in my garage to test the wing and cog without leaving my house the reason for the evo 25 11.1 v 1500 mah battery is i plan to put a camera in the diablo with its own power set up i have alot of test equipment because i built my own ultralight im into aircraft design so yea i think i can get the diablo aka devil to work and on the slight possibility it wont i have plans for a jet bomber

thanks for the quick replys

Got it ready to go and the reciever was dead.. didnt work. I pulled out a reciever from one of my older planes and everything seemed to work except for the ecs.

Bummer.. Now I am plane shopping again!
