Thanks for the replys on props, guys. Not a big deal, I was just curious...

One more question: I finished everything up this weekend, and finally got to balancing. Ugh! It needs the battery ("standard" 4x600mAh) over halfway to the tail to balance! I am seriously considering chopping open an "access panel" in the bottom of the fuse for the battery (just so I don't have to add weight). Anybody else have this problem? (Again, I have a Saito .72 in the nose, but I thought that it weighs about the same as a .46FX?). The only "non-standard" thing I did was to use an HS-81 for the throttle servo (mounted in the throttle-servo slot). Standard JR's everywhere else.

As for the landing gear, I agree that it looks pretty flimsy. Anybody found a good replacement?
