I did not installed it yet. Just tinted it. I was planning to use the screws.
The plane came out quite nicely but I'm a little bit concerned about the elevator linkage. It seems flimsy. Having second thoughts installing 2 servos in the tail with short push rods.
In the existing configuration it's tail heavy ; the battery will go on the side of the firewall. If I'm not mistaken in the manual is a picture showing the cg at 88mm on the root.
How are the nylon bolts holding the wings ? Did you try some violent blenders?

BTW .... on my postal scale with Saito 100, custom muffler, 1500 mA battery it came at 92.5 oz. I think that's a really light plane. My yak 68!QUOT! the same engine is 8lb 4 oz.
