That's a very excellent question Tom. That had crossed my mind, but since I had a 89 oz servo, I figured that would be plenty. Maybe not. Maybe I should throw in a big digital and see what happens. The results could answer a lot of questions. I'm going to need to move some weight back anyway when I put the Saito in. Bye, Bye pull-pull.
Adrian, what servo are you using on your rudder?

Maybe my prop theory has some merit too. I'll find that out too on my next flight.

I'm starting with the 15X4 because it seemed to be the prop that most people were happy with, but I don't like the weight. I'll be bringing along a couple of wood 14"ers to try.
Tom, I'm sure the CF gear will take a beating. I'm sure the mounting block will give before the gear. BTW, I'm not having any issues with the strength of the gear block on a grass field. I didn't do any mods to it because I didn't want to add weight and the mount looked fine to me....but then again I haven't dropped it in yet. Also, I went to one size up on the tires to 2.5's when I went to the lightweight tires. They're still 1/2 oz lighter than stock.
