Hi, I'm going into my first gas airplane ever and picked up a Lanier 87' Extra by total chance.

I read the whole Lanier Edge thread which covers a lot of what I needed to figure out but I still have a few smaller questions I'd like to ask the experts on this board:

- My DA50 has no engine standoffs - does anyone know where I can pick up the right OEM 2.5' standoffs that are appropriate to mount the DA50?

- Would using a pull-pull rather than the dual servos in the tail create a balancing problem? Two servos in the tail is a lot of leveraged weight but the DA 50 is on the light range for this plane (up to 80cc).

- Are dual wing servos actually needed and effective or would a single 8611A make more sense (and save weight)?


BTW, my setup is the following (please tell me if I'm going totally wrong):

DA-50R
Slimline pitts muffler
Menz 22x8
4 JR 8411 for ailerons with 2 Smartfly servo matchers
2 JR 8311 for Elevators
1 JR 8611 for Rudder
1 JR Synth receiver
SWB 1.5' servo arms
2 Thunder power 11.1v 2100 LiPo with Smartfly dual battery module and Fromeco regulator
1 2100mah Li-Ion for ignition and Fromeco regulator

Thanks for any feedback.
