After your last comments on this plane and how well it flies I went ahead and ordered it last night from Tower Hobbies. I hope to have it buy next week. I'll post my building when I get statrted. The engine I have is a converted 42cc chain saw engine with EI that I got off of Scott Ellingson here on RC Universe. It is one sweet engine. I know it is a little heavier than the Brison 2.4 engine, but it is liter that a Fuji 32 so I think this engine falls into the right size and weight for this plane.

The servo's I plan on using are GWS metal gear rated at 100oz torque and I will be using a Hitec 425 for the throttle. I will be using only 2 servo's for the ailerons and connect the upper and lower with a 4-40 rod covered in carbon fiber.

Thanks for all of your inputs guy's. It help me to fell much better on making my decission
