I was also considering this airframe. I have a P200 that I wanted to use with it.

My only concern was the elevators. I was looking through the manual and noticed that the elevator rods appear to go through a brass tube without any type of bearing. The elevators on this thing are huge, I would even say oversize. I was thinking through any possible failure point between the elevator mechanics and the servo used to drive them. I was thinking about using two 8711 but maybe it needs four on the elevator. I see in the manual how they show to gang a pair of servos per side. This had been my stumbling point on this airframe. The looks and performance are "spot on".
