Bruce .... Just make sure of the CG, better to be just a touch nose heavy then tail and it doesn't need as much throws as you might think. If it's a little tail heavey or you have too much throws it can be a hand full. I know from experience. I flew mine for a while then added the pilot and made it tail heavy and it was a tottaly different plane. That's not to scare you, because if everything is set right it's a *****cat and a wonderful plane to fly. Good luch with your's
