Hi Bob
Yes the balance worked out but the plane still weight 12.5 pounds so I am not sure what was gained. Although the stock control setup with mini servos and a push rod (pitch up) did not look good to me I suppose it works.
3 feet of nyrod is yucky but I did like having big digital servos for everything.
If I had to do it again I would go with stock rudder control but move a full-size digital elevator servo into the tank compartment and run a pushrod to the top of the elevator through the fin.
I also reinforced the pylon and the hull with a lot of glass.
I had 13 X10 prop on the FZ110. The tank setup was nice as you could move it forward and aft maybe 2 inches for cg adjustment.
Also there are complaints about the weight, it feels fine to me but I am used to heavy planes
