You might consider adding a charge port to the plane. It's a small plastic bit that holds the charge lead that normally floats around inside the plane, and allows you to check the battery voltage and recharge at the field with out taking off the wing.
This is what I'm talking about

Taking the limiters off the high and low speed mixture is probably a good idea eventually, but if the engine is running right, then it might not be necessary. It will depend on the weather, your fuel, and other factors.
That's a good idea. It's been so long on mine that I forgot that I had to add it. You really do want to check your RX battery often. You can leave the charge lead sticking out from under the wing, but it can be damaged or damage the covering, and if you have to take off the wing to test your battery, you might tend to skip that step.
For a $3 part, and the couple of minutes it takes to install, it's well worth it.
