Vince,

You're right about the 11lb weight limit, and am sorry for not having clarified. I live in El Salvador at the moment, and the contest consisted of around 16 pilots in basic and 4 in sportsman from El Salvador and Guatemala. It's not an actual IMAC event, technically, but the IMAC patterns were being flown and the judges were judging in an IMAC manner. There really aren't big models in El Salvador - just one QQ Yak 102", one Obsession 3D, one 46% H9 Ultimate (not flying yet) and they're all owned by the same guy that flew outside this country. A couple quarter-scale-ish planes, but that's it.

Also, the Focus II is a beautiful plane, but the price is kind of up there. I know it's nothing compared to the $3000+ Oxai models, but I'm on a very tight budget. What servos/batteries/accessories would you use on this type of plane?
