Default Extra 330lx set-up

I am planning on putting two 5955's in the tail for rudder,...maybe three? One per elevator half (5645's) and two per aileron,..maybe three (5645's). DA-150 with standard mufflers, power box Royal, two Duralites 4000+mah packs and two recievers.


Questions& Suggestions:
1.Will this plane balance out fairly easy with the rudder servos in the tail?
2.I am trying to reduce the servo total for weight and total current draw, is it worth it?
3.DA-150 performance on mufflers,...or need pipes? Seemed ok on my first one,..past posts suggest pipes.
4.CF gear & tubes
5.The plane is finished and ready to fly,...wann'a get it right this time!

Been away from IMAC since 2003,....would like suggestions for this big bird. I have flown Carden Caps my entire time, one JTEC 330LX lost in 2003 before the Don Lowe Masters,...battery failure due to wrong servos on Y-harnesses, I4C Isolators..only had 4 flights on it.

Thanks,
