Dreamland,

What's your battery setup going to be? I'd go with the power 90; that will give you a plane that can keep up with your skills. I'm just going to be flying it around for now, but hope to push it harder once I've got it tuned to my liking. The big issue with weight is where it is relative to CG. The GMS 1.20 is on the heavy side, so I have a Hitec 645MG for the rudder in the tailcone. To get the factory spec'd CG, I just have to move my battery. No added lead needed, giving me the lightest possible plane with this setup.

The GMS 1.20 is about 30 ounces of weight, add a few more ounces for the pitts muffler, Du-Bro anti-vibe mount, spinner, and an APC 16x7 glassfibre prop. Compare that to the weight of your battery, speed control, motor, motor mount, and prop combination to see whether you might need weight up front (use rudder pull-pull setup) or weight in the tailcone (use stock rudder servo setup). Good luck and post your results...
