Default RE: Great Planes Extra 330L

Thanks again for your help Bliksem. There are still some great folks out there. DGrant please jump in any time, more opions, ideas, etc. are always valuable. Attached are a couple of pics of the framed up horizontal stabs and rudders. I am still kickin' the tires on what to use for control horns. Leaning towards Hitec HS-5485HB standard digital servos. The stab and rudder assemblies each weigh slightly over 8 ounces each.... too heavy. Has there been any issues with achieving the proper CG on this plane? The current plan is to use a Zenoah GT-80, perhaps not the optimum, but it is what is available for now. It is a heavy engine that should help with any CG issues.
