Good jog thirsty, Congrats on the maiden! What volt of batt are you using? You have the same set up as I do with mine. Except that I am using a 70 magnum. I think that the magunm is a little heavyer than the OS so I did not have to add any weight to the plane. I use the batt to set the cg on mine now. I also have the cg set back at around 5 to 5 1/2. I am using a 13x4w apc on mine with a 6 volt batt mounted under the canopy(painted it black) Not sure how many flights I have on mine but it is close to 20 I think. The way that I added weight to the wings is to take some split shot (fishing weights) and flatten them. I placed them on the wing until the wings were pretty level. then super glue them there. if you put them in the blue area, they don't show up so as bad. I am going to get some blue paint and pait them.
