Default RE: Lanier Ripper info

Woohoo!! Im all done- total weight came in at 2lbs, 9.7 oz thats with the 8 channel hitec rcvr, 2 standard servos, 1 micro for throttle, magnum 15XL and a 2 oz fuel tank. I also painted the wing with very bright florescent yellow and orange spray paint, to help me see it better.
Speaking of fuel tanks, are you guys running a 2 oz or a 3 oz? I bought a 4 oz as well, but its just too big and when all fueled up , its just added weight. Im just wondering if the 2 oz is going to give me 5 minutes running time with just a little reserve OR do I need to put a 3 oz on her?
I also have my cg set at 2 and 1/2 inches, is that about where I need to be?
Thanks again guys for all your help!! I hope to try it out over this coming weekend
