Thanks for the compliments everyone!
Dauntae,
I forgot to say, Great Job! I really like your colors too! Based on my flight today, your going to love these planes and since the 100 single has more power and less weight than my twin it should have awesome verticle performance.

damifino,
it balanced with no added weight. I didn't change the firewall, I just put the servos towards the back of the wing saddle area with the battery pack just behind them (but still in the wing saddle opening. With one battery pack it balanced at the forwardmost recommended point and with two battery packs it balanced in the middle of the recommended range. I also have a MPI onboard glow system and the battery for that is at the front of the saddle area. I'm using one fuel clunk and a Y very close to the carbs. On the first flight today the motor ran perfect but on the second flight it got a little rough, not dropping a cylinder but it was missing a little. On the third flight, I had enriched both carbs two clicks and it dropped a cylinder just after climbout. I flipped on the glow and it picked back up, landed and I leaned the missing cylinder out two clicks from the original setting. That fixed it and it ran great on the next flight. Tuning this thing is definitely tougher than a single, but it's a heck of a lot easier than my '71 Porsche with 6 idle mix screws! btw the plane weighed in a 8 1/2 lbs.

teufelhund,
I fly with the Peidmont Aeromodelers club. Our field is just north of Fayetteville off of Hwy 13. Great field, 200 acre hayfield with no trees.
