David,

Thanks for the info, The servos are Hextronic D-MG16's, been using them for just on 2 years now and never had any problems. Still use JR (have since the 70's) radio gear in other larger models. Been using DSX9 (9303 on 2.4) for the last 8 months.

I will be using selected balsa (light weight) in the build, just getting every thing ready at the moment. Like to have every thihg before I start as it does not hold up the build as I have to order every thing or drive to 2 hrs to get to a hobby shop. I looked at doing it electric as I have several electric models as well but could do it lighter with glow. I also have 6 engines NIB as well as 2 others that have little use, left over from my racing days.

Still thinking about landing gear as you can save a lot of weight with out it, have several small models without it. The Cox weights in at 230g with pipe, prop, spinner and tank.

Cheers
