I did add heavy duty connections to the tail but made CF pushrods. I also replaced the tail braces with lighter cables. I knew the DLE w/ muffler is light but dang! The ignition, kill switch, ign. battery, ign. switch and throttle servo are all in the far forward compartment. The rx battery and fuel tank are on under the M struts. I might have enough room to build a flat lead tray in the forward compartment ( This is where I had 2 wrenches and 6oz of lead to get the balance).
Have you flown yours yet?
