Default RE: Giant Big Stick and BCMA SPE 40 Build

I have 8 flights on the Sig now. Just finished it up about three weeks ago. Weight as I have it set-up is 12# 8oz, and the SPE40 is putting out 18 1/2#, on a ProZinger 20X8. Plan to go to a Xoar 21X8, should put it just over 20#. As set-up it balanced at 30% MAC, with no added weight, and handles great at that CG. On low rate it handles very crisp but not snappy. I have not tried high rate, being my first plane after a trainer, but my buddy has and says it's right there, right now. Right now it will hover at a little less than 2/3 throttle, but the new prop should cut that down to half. I used S9252 servos for ailerons and elevators, a S9151 for rudder, and S3151 on throttle and ignition switch. (ignition can be switched manually or with the TX)
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
