Stratos, I have mine on the bench, 50% complete same setup I am going with. Do you know what the overall weight you are running? I weighed mine with partially completed and threw all the servos tank and spinner prop and hardware I am installing in the cavity and it weighs over 11 pounds already and I am going to load it up with some reinforcing glue and braces too. Don't know how guys can claim 10 pounds on this plane, don't see it happening....11 pounds best case.
