I also maidened mine this weekend. Taurus 2.6 - Futaba 9206 on rudder - 9203's on the elevator and 9206's on the aileron. Balanced at 6 1/4" with rx battery on the rudder tray and ignition battery on the motor box. This was an ARC kit and was a pleasure to work on. Maiden flight was awesome thanks to Bill Pryor and several others on RC Universe as this was my first 1/4 scale and first gas application. The Taurus ran perfect with no ajustements needed. Used APC 20X10 on first couple flights then a Zinger 22X8. No comparison, went right back to APC - tacked at 7430. This is without a doubt the best flying plane I have ever flown. Very true in all manuevers and landing is a distnict pleasure. Having a little trouble with vibration and I am sure it is due drilling out the prop. Having to drill to 7/16" is a real bummer and difficult to do. Does anyone know if you can order a high end prop pre-drilled and pre-balanced? Would be worth the price!
