Here are my suggestions.
Either buy a shockie....or build the flatout like a shocky.
Get a reflection. Leave all the carbon and funky hinges out, and build it like a shockflyer. Taped hinges,box in the fuse with depron instead of using the carbon rod through the middle. Leave off all those plastic servo mounts, cross member braces etc. Take it from a 10oz airplane down to 6-7oz, and then it will be awesome.

Stick with the shockys they are much better. You could build the flat outs like a shocky and they would be better. The only reason I wouldn't do that is the foam that they use to make the flat outs is heavier than what they use for the shockflyers in the first place.
