Hi Lou55,

I"ve got the same ship,having a 1.80 MOki gasser inthe nose,18x10 prop.Servos are Hs475 hb,Fut 3oo3 for the throttle,Optic6 qpcm.Nice plane,my second gasser.Its maiden was in august.Since then I"ve flown a lot with it.
The engine is super for this plane,cca. 35 min flightime on 75 ml gas,powerful enough and has a scale-like sound.Very stable in the air easy to fly once in the air.Take care at take offs, the plane needs speed before you gently pull the elevator/low rate/Landings are a bit different from monoplanes, slowing down fast when the engine is on idle.My tipycal approach is:After the 1st 90 degree turn I let it running on high idle until I do the 2 nd turn when I reach the threshold go on idle and flare it.Need some practice but you will love it.Very nice in the air.
