I like your pull-pull setup. If I was to do it all over again I would explore that configuration. What I don't like is your weight.

Mine, configured per factory, with a Saito FA-100 came out 6lbs, 8ozs. I did have to add 1.5ozs of weight on the back -- cut a strip out of the fuselage and epoxied 6 1/4-oz weight squares just in front of the tail wheel.

RCAddiction,

I see from your picture that you have not done anything with the landing gear mount block. This is a definite weakness with this airplane. Normally a manufacturer uses a block about the same size but made out of multi-ply plywood. This block is mild hardwood that is very fragile along the wood grain. Consider much epoxy and/or fiberglassing that landing gear block. Your 1st moderate hard landing will fracture that block along the wood grain and take out the bottom of your fuselage. The repair after that is much more difficult than doing it before hand. Been there, done that.
