I have made little changes to plane. Now it has bigger ailerons and there is two Hitec's 85BB servos moving ailerons. I raised the rudder servo so now it's it the fuselage and I'm planning to install smoke smuffler too.
While the 100 can be crammed into the cowl and with the other items you plan it would be a very heavy wing loading for that size plane. A Midwest "Lil Cap" would be a better platform for the 90 to 100 engines. Go with the GS-45 for general flying or a 63 to 70 4/Stroke.
