Default Laser 3D last minute advice needed!

I've got my wing covered and hinged, and I'll be covering the fuselage tonight. I have some questions before I assemble it.

I have an Irvine .53 and a YS .63 available. I'm leaning towards the YS, because I want Yo-Yo power! What have some of you have ended up with for a total weight? If I can get it under 5 pounds the Irvine should be okay.

I'm planning on HS-225MG on ailerons, and HS-225BB in the tail for elevators. I have an HS-77 for the rudder on pull-pull, and an HS-81 for throttle. I've heard about some guys having gear problems with the HS-225. Will I be okay if I use proper throttle management?

Is a rearward CG attainable without adding lead?

I can't wait to fly this thing! The wing is huge.

Thanks!

Chuck
