MRMIKE: I'm not knocking your altitude, your engine, your flying style or anything else. Just trying to say that, since that kit will build up tailheavy to begin with, putting the servos in the tail and then adding the required noseweight will make your airplane as much as a pound heavier than if you put the servos in the front tray.
That extra pound will make a big difference in the way it flys, regardless of engine and regardless of altitude. But maybe you'll like it with the extra weight. What do I know?
