I just wanna second what Jon put in the previous post. Every batch of the Shinden has had changes made to it (from what I understand), and the ones being produced now should easily make weight as electrics (there were stab and wing weight issues that were addressed after the first run). As far as the servos in the tail, you may want to check with Bryan before committing to that path. I'm fairly certain he has built a Shinden from each batch (maybe not the most recent that just hit the states), and he would be able to better advise you on what it would take to make that a viable choice. No matter what, he's always available to offer advice on setup and trimming... there's nothing like having the designer available to troubleshoot problems (if you even have any) with his airframe...
