I have a Saito 180 on a JOSS STIK I know it could be put to better use. and 2 gal of 30%
That's a great engine but given the power to weight you could get by with 15% vs 30% and save some $$.
I expect this plane to be a powerful flier. There are warnings all over the manual "no power dives" or high speed flight.
Don't know if you folks picked up . I added counter weight to the elevators forward of the hinge line. I added 3/8 oz lead to each elevator tip hopefully to prevent flutter of the elevator. If I fly tomorrow I will let you know how this works. The lead makes the elevator almost balance with no servo connected. You know sorta like the 1:1 birds.
