Mike,

Nice job on the motor mount. I added about 12 oz to the back of that beast to balance it at 5". I got a great deal on servos for mine. Here are the specs:

4 JR 811's in the wing
2 HiTec 5645's Rudder and Elevator
1 JR 537 for the throttle

I haven't mixed in Rudder and Aileron, I try to fly it with both sticks. Also, this Cubby will ground loop quickly if you accelerate too fast [sm=biggrin.gif]. Found that out once also. I fly my G23 with a 16x8 Zinger prop . I have tried others 16x12, plane slowed down like it just hit the third wire on an aircraft carrier. Also, tried the 16x10. For me the 16x8 is pretty much a good fit. Thinking about going to an 18x8, guy at the field has had a couple of G23's and said that was a good prop. Hope this helps. Give us a report when you get her airborne.
