Well, finished the build on my Father-in-law's Magister over the last few days since Christmas. Used HS-81 Servos, and made servo plates from 3/32" ply glued in with foam-safe CA (see photos).

Drum roll please..... the AUW came in at 53 oz's! Well under the 60 oz target weight... nice . All that's left is to add decals.

Setup:
AXI 2808/24
CC Phoenix 35
Dymond Modelsports 3S HD 2100 mAH 12C Lipo
JR UL610 Rx
APC 11x5.5E

This rig will make 275 watts @ ~25 amps, and pulls 45 oz's thrust. I'll retest that and verify, get more precise numbers when I get time. Should fly pretty well with 85% thrust to weight ratio. CG came in dead on the book recommendation without special arrangements, everything in stock locations. The lighter servos rear seems to offset the light motor up front. Sweet!

This is a very nicely engineered chuck of foam, I am impressed. Everything fit to gether very nicely. I only made a few minor mods in the build. I think some Dubro Ultralite wheels will kill another once or so. I was able to get some great throws on the controls too, and these HS-81's are very quick and seem to have plenty of power to slam the surfaces to the stops. Should fly well, can't wait to maiden.
