Default Gotta love this plane!!!!

I am on my third one. I love it.

Things to note:

1. A .91 2s is perfect for this plane
2. Mine was nose heavy with the cowl and pants (Stan's) so I moved one of the battery packs of my EMS Jomar battery backer farther back in the fuse.
3. I used two hs-225bb servos for each elevator half, and a single hs-225 bb on each aileron.
4. used a hs-5625 digital on the rudder with a pull-pull setup.
5. used a hs-85bb on the throttle.
6. Use 4-40 hardware on the whole thing with good clevises and ball links. Trash the stock stuff.

Mine weighed in just a the bottom of GP's weight range. With a 14x6 wood prop, mine is a monster on vertical and knife-edges very well with very little coupling.

Email me if you have any more questions.
