I was also thinking about the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJ580&P=7]GP 300 extra[/link]. With that new satio 125 that just came out it should be a real performer. I could also move my servos around to get the best cg without any extra weight. There is also a real good thread in the kit building section about how to add more rudder and counter balance the elevator. I also picked up a sulivan smoke kit from my LHS which they where clearancing out for 60% off and this plane is big enough to run smoke, I may even be able to put the smoke oil tank on the CG.

As far as servos go, I like to put better than required servos on my planes. My twist has HS475s on the wings and elevator and a HS635 on the rudder all running on 6v so they are strong and quick for a 5lb plane that only requires standard servos.

Thanks for the help...
