It hovers at about half throttle and has MORE then enough power to pull out of about anything. Mine wieghts at 9lbs 14 oz after getting it all setup. I could have built it lighter but I needed weight up front so I used the stock wheels and pants and a modified set of aluminum gear. If I had the elevator servos up front then I could probably save about 6 oz overall. I would have though the ST2300 with SLimLine muffler would have been more then enough weight up front. I think if I where to build another one I would use JR 9411's in the tail as they would be about 1oz lighter overall then the Futaba's. I just happen to have these Futaba's left over from another project. But every plane is slightly different so go accordingly. I also put a diamond wire bracing on th etail in addition to the c.f. under struts to stiffen the stab and this added some weight back there.

18x6 wood Zinger (if you use an 18x6wide APC prop it would be about 1.5 oz heavier) I think the wood prop is the way to go as it spins up faster with the 2 stroke then the heavier APC props.

Futaba 9202's on the ailerons
Futaba 9101's on the elevator
JR 8411 on the rudder
std Futaba on throttle
