Well, finally am 99.9% done with my Staggerwing. All I have left to do is tune the engine a bit and fly her. Thanks to everyone here for the advice and tidbits of information, it was a big help in finishing this one. I ended up going with a Evo .35GT gasser with the Brisson muffler (the inverted pitts wouldn't fit - hit the firewall) and pretty much all the standard stuff everyone else used, good hi-torque JR servos (4721) on everything except the retract valve and throttle and Fromeco Li batteries on receiver and ignition. I heard everyone say that they had to add nose weight, so I moved as much stuff as I could as far forward as I could and ended up having to put about 6oz in the tail. Unfortunately, won't be able to maiden flight her for quite some time, travel alot for work and won't be home for month or maybe up to 3, but I'll let you know how it goes eventually.
