Tripp, Keep the tail as light as possible, mount the elevator servos as far forward as you can. You WILL need nose weight on this bird. Mine needed 2 lbs of lead and all my servos are as far forward as possible. Also, the amount of carbon in the fuselage will give you radio problems. Go with a spread spectrum radio. I had numerous reception issues until I switched to 2.4ghz. No problems at all now. If you plan to use a motor larger than a G45, I highly recommend you pay attention to the elevator linkage. Make sure there is no slop as I have fluttered the tail on mine once already, stripping one elevator servo. Mine is a bit heavy at 30 lbs but flies just fine at that weight.
