Default RE: Uproar Kits

Built my Uproar 40 completely stock and powered it with an OS .32SX. Servos are HS 225's. Great flying plane but, built stock, will not knife edge. Elevator and Rudder servos are in the front of the fuse along with the radio gear. The thing will roll like an SOB if you crank up the throws. Will practically harrier land if set up with flaperons.
If you build one, mount the engine sideways. Plane will stay a LOT cleaner if you do. Check for lateral balance also. If I ever destroy this one I will build the next one with a bigger rudder and mount the engine sideways.

I noticed that CarrellH was in the process of building an uproar 60. I was thinking about getting an uproar 40 size. I was curious if anyone had completed an Uproar kit and flown it. I just recently crashed a GP Dazzler. Looks like the Uproar is of a similar design. One thing I don't like about the Dazzler is the ultra-small radio compartment. Looks like the Uproar mounts the aileron and elevator servo near the tail? Looks like this would be an improvement over the Dazzler. Any advice would be appreciated!
