Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Hi,

Got my Bobcat set-up ready to go:

Jen 57 with CVEC pipe
Futaba 3004's in ailerons and throttle/nose steering
SD200's in the tail section

Modified the wing to take captive nuts just before the small metal rod and put nylon bolts/washers from the inside of the fuselage. I still have a slight gap at the trailing edge, I think the metal wing tube is a little big and might sand it down.

Has anyone flown with the wings fastened in this way or do you suggest glue?

I've run the engine up with an 11 x 7 APC pusher. It sounds a little noisey close up and we have a restricted of 80db at our club. I see a lot of people talk of Zinger props, will a 11 x 10 or 12 x 6 give me a quieter aircraft?

A fellow member told me that they allow an extra 2db for pushers because of the way the noise disperses and is quieter once airbourne?

All up weight is about 6.6lbs, no extra weight added just the battery pack (2100mah) shuvved up front.
