RE: 1st pull pull setup?
yep same as mine. I did see the pre drilled holes, but drilled my own and staggered them. Be sure to use more than just CA on the servo trays when mounting them. I'm using Hitec HS-485 HB's servo's for all but the throttle. They are ball bearing Karbonite gear with 66 oz of torque. I also added two washers under the forward two holes of the engine to give a tad of right thrust, not sure it really matters, but just thought a little right thrust would be a good thing. I placed a 1100 LiFe battery in between the the servos on the left wing. I didn't realize the the pull pull wires would be so close to the switch where I mounted it. It will be fine where it is, but had I realized it I would've mounted the switch more towards the outside of the wing instead of where I did. The instructions called for mounting the fuel tank in the wing as well, I decided to mount mine extrenal. I like the ease of being able to access everything with the profiles. Makes the engines easy to tune, and fix fuel lines, etc... I set my CG at 4.5 inches. The manual says 4.0 - 5.25! Will have to see how it flies and adjust as needed. The 55 AX should get this thing airborne in less than 10 feet!!
