Default RE: Cox Pitts S12

This airplane will come out tail heavy anyway, and at about 19 lbs you would be better off going with a bigger engine to help balance it out and power it properly. The overall quality is good for the most part. The hardware is pretty good but as usual I will use what I prefer. The tailwheel will be the first thing I send to the scrap heap as it seems to be a little bit over engineered. I have to agree on 5955 being overkill, you could get away with alot less servo for the wings and elevator halves although the rudder could always use an extra strong servo. Please remember this is no 3D machine so super fast high power servos probably won't be a huge benefit.
