Shaun,
From your description this kit must be of the latest design. I assume the "fat c" means that the fan is viewed from the exterior of the fusealage through one of the inlets? If that is the case then I must have got the fan mounting crossmember too far forward as I cannot get a standard Futaba servo + mount in for either the elevator or the rudder without a great deal of pushing and shoving! What I plan to do is put a Hitec mini servo under the rudder and above the tailpipe to work the rudder, dry fit everything else inot the model and see just how far out the c of g is with the elevator servo mounted forward/centre of the fin under the tailplane. If I need a huge lump of lead in the nose then I will think again.

How much is the front strut including postage and is it really necessary if you are flying off a smooth grass strip?
