Hay StZ,
Good work and your on your way. I didn't mention it, but I beefed up the servo area too...the light ply... just worked the wood in the kit to much for me, with servo activation.

As Lean-Run stated...I prefer with this type of model, more pull then speed. So I go with a longer prop, and drop down a bit on the pitch. I'm not exactly sure what engine your going to use, so refer to your engine manual and see what they recommend. You can let me or Lean-Run know and we may help you with a good prop choice. But you never know what prop will work the best for your style of flying, so buy several in the prop range for your engine and try them out, until you find the one you like. I use Master Air Screw Symitar style wood props, and Xoar wood blades on my models. I stay away from any plastic or carbon fiber props...for they amputate when your body parts get in the way...wood props brake. All props do damage...but wood does less damage. So as you can see...I only use wood props and that is my personal preference.

Keep us posted,

Soft landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
