Default RE: Scaled up Tower Fun 51

I am finished! Maiden flight maybe this afternoon if the weather co-operates. Would have flown it yesterday but by the time I finished chores it was just to late and the weather was not all that good anyway. With a Saito .82 5 digital Futaba servos, with one Hitec retract servo and a NImI 6v 2a battery the plane tips the scales a touch over 6 pounds. With the battery moved as far rearward as possible I still had to add 1.75 oz of weight to the tail[:@][:'(][&o]. I just hate to add weight! A wise designer once advised me, " If you must add or change something, add simplicity and lightness"! Flight report to follow.
