Almoust have it dun. Doors and servo's in wing and it dun! Will post when l fly it. we got two more Mo's befoure good flying weather (Can't take hot weather any more, coold ez'er to deal with)
12# on an 85" WS? That's going to be fairly high wing loading, especially considering the shape of the Srinson wing. The 91 might get it into the air, but there won't be any reserve power if you get into trouble. I wouldn't want a 91 on anything much over 8# unless it was very light wing loading.
