propbuster-

Like the looks of yours as well! The white with red is a cool look.. With a TD, yours must really haul, and I think you're on to something with not doing the stock landing gear wire- that way, if you want to add a landing gear later you can, or for long grass fields you can go without. I too built mine from plans, and I think I will build another one, full-house this time. That way, if a newbie wants to train with my original one, that's ok, but for more aerobatic manuevers the full-house one will rule the day.

Judging from the sounds of it, I mounted my servos too far back (mine are just in front of the rearmost bulkhead in the fuselage compartment).. Perhaps if I switch out the black widow for the Norvel .061 R/C with the tank/mount, the added weight of the throttle servo up front (and I think the tank is bigger too), It will balance out OK.. Also, instead of the foam (which is probably 1000 times more durable), I built up my wing from balsa using my own design, but using the original airfoil, and the basic physical dimensions.. I think my wingspan is about 42" IIRC.

Love these little planes! What a cool fuselage design! Tabbed crutch, also the front end is extremely solid! I wonder how different the "Super Whiz Kid" is, or if it is the same fuselage and tail feathers, with an aileron wing..
