Default RE: Gas engine for Senior Telemaster

I also had to add weight to the tail, in fact 9.5 ounces, because of all the weight up front.

I put elevator and rudder servos in the tail as well, and crammed everything else as far forward or backward as possible to leave the middle bay open for the AV package which I will add later.

The wings were also modified as well to make them bolt-on, and 4-40 linkage hardware and CF rods were used for the wing struts. More ground clearance was needed (for the AV package to hang down a bit) so some CF landing gear from a H9 Extra 260 were used, as well as 5-inch wheels. The engine was mounted upright with the exhaust pointing up to reduce ground noise.
