Hey Rick,

Good call on the motor! You were 100% right!
Knife edge requires a small amount of aileron to stay straight up and down no elevator at all unless you want to turn . I don't remember if my old one was the same way. Not really a problem though, just have to be aware of it.
BTW, no adverse yaw in rudder-only turns, just stays flat and goes in a circle.
Tonight i'm gonna wind up the throws to the mechanical limits of the servo's/linkage. I have the high rates pretty high now , but I can get some more. Remember the amount of elevator throw I had on Laser #1?
In response to the other post above, I could not use the wood mount supplied with the kit. The .91 would not fit between the rails. I did however use the wood mount with my TSI .46 on my first Laser, worked flawlessly for MANY flights. Never a problem at all. I did not reinforce the mount in any way as another poster above mentioned, just built it stock, C/A'd it together and coated the whole thing with epoxy. Bulletproof and ingenious design. I really liked it, if the .91 would'v fit I would'v used it.
