I used separate ail. servos. You can see where they are in the picture. They are mounted ahead of the CG.

I did everything I could think of to keep weight out of the tail. Ele and Rud servos and rec and batt are under the fuel tank. You can see the bottom hatch in the picture.

Maybe the pull pull idea is recent. Don't remember it in my instructions. Or maybe I didn't know what it was at the time. In any case, it sounds like an excellent way to keep even more weight out of the tail.

Mine balanced perfectly with an ST 40 in front-- no nose weight needed. The tank has worked fine.

Seems like the Mag 52 should be enough power. Mine is quite zippy with the ST 40 and APC 12.25/3.75 prop.

I agree wholeheartedly with the idea about putting the carb opposite the muffler on 4 strokes!

How does it fly? It is superb-- after many, many planes, I still think it is one of the best pieces of aerodynamic desigh work I have ever flown.

Will it hover like a DP Ultimate and a YS 110? No. But I swear overall it is a much better flyer.

P.S . I spent the best part of a day with an incidence meter lining up the wings. I think this is the most crucial part of the building process.
