Thx for the info Melvin, i was thinking of putting the air in the nose and the batts around the front wheel. Or will i need more weight in the nose. I think the 180RX weighs about the same as the 160SX.

Today i installed the flap servo's


I'v read that the fin was strenghtend because it could break off when you do a snap roll....but the only vids i've seen about the lightning, everybody is flying basic aerobatics like loops, rolls, knife edge.
Is anyone flying snap rolls, spins, tail slides, wing overs, etc... with the lightning, and if so, how does it preform?
I'm not a big fan of speed, so i probably will be flying slowly most of the time....
