I built a plane like we are talking about for a friend. I took a Big Stik, bashed it into a "Low Stik" with the wing on the bottom, whacked an inch off the nose,put the servos in the rear, and put a mildly hopped up Homelite 25cc in it. He's been flying it for a couple of years now, and it is one of his favorite planes. When I first built it, it came out tail heavy. I had to put the magneto back on it to get it to balance!</p>
I believe doing one with an Echo on CDI wouldn't even require cutting the nose; just mounting one or both of the elevator/rudder servos in the rear.</p>

Can you post a photo of that airplane you bashed? Sounds like a fun one. Capt,n
