Brian, All I can say is WOW, a company that cares.

As for my set up. I have not made any modifcations to the plane. I used RadioSouth CA hinges for all control surfaces. Used as little epoxy as possible when setting the horizontal stab. I have used the stock hardware expect the tailwheel. It is a Sullivan 6-12lbs set up with the stock wheel. I mounted a Hitec 475 servo for the elevator in the stock location. I mounted the rudder servo in the stock location and used a Hitec 645MG with the stock pull-pull hardward. The throttle servo is mounted all most all the way forward in fuse with just enough room for smooth action of the throttle push rod. The tank is in front compartment. I also mounted a refueler all the way forward in the front compartment. The motor has the stock muffler.

If I did add any weight it would only be on glassing the wing joint. Want to make sure that was good and strong.

Right now I do not have the cowl on (do not want to cut it for this motor if it does not work out) so I realize some of the weight I mounted would come off for that.

I have 15oz's mounted to the motor mount rails right behind the motor. I also have a 2150 4.8v NIMH battery mountd on top of that (like 4oz I think). A DuBro 2 1/2 spinner and 13-8 APC prop. The motor is as far out on the rails as possible (about 3mm from the end of the rails) and still have the cowling barely over lap the fuse so there is not a gap. The gap between the spinner back plate and front of the fuse.is about 2-3mm.

Please do not get me wrong, I think the quality of the plane is great. Covering looks good, all jounts look good, the incedence was even right on the money.

I was going to order a pipe and custom header but, decided to wait and see how it performs. If I start pulling wieght off then that will be the next thing that goes on.
