Default RE: Ace Extra 230 33% Fiberglass

Hope some of you guys are still following this link. I just picked up a RC Extra's Extra 230 kit. Thought it might be an inexpensive way to get into the big gassers. Lots and lots of questions as soon as I opened the box. First, I've never built a foam wing before, well at least one that flew. We have a couple guys at the club who can help with this so I think I'm OK there.

What size servos should I go with? Engine? Etc

Also I'm thinking of trying to do a major weight reduction on this guy. It looks as if there are hundreds of oppoturnity to reduce the weight just by cutting some large holes in the big sheets and ply.

What are your thoughts on the removable tail feathers.

Any help is appriciated.
