So is there an accepted "preferred" engine choice yet for this plane. Some say 20cc and others say 30cc. Not to start a war, but these birds have a nasty habit of being tail heavy so I am thinking a larger engine. I also am a fan of moving the elevator servos away from the firewall to the inside of the fuse. So I am thinking a 30cc engine and still some lead to get the balance correct. I have seen several mods on the forums of moving the servo's inside. I just think this makes the best sense. All that vibration and heat can not be good for a servo. I really like Jimmymacs mods on this plane. I am finishing up another plane and hope to trial it before winter strikes here in the great hinterlands of the north. I have everything less servo's and engine to assemble this bird over the winter. I was thinking a DLE 30 may be the way to go.
