Thats kinda what I was figuring too. The plane appears to have much more potential with a few mods then if it is built as shown in the instructions. I have a 5 Hitec digital servos on order for it and am seriously considering a OS 1.20 with a pump (surpass) for power. Do you have a suggestion as to filler for the tail? I hadn't noticed any problems back there but hadn't looked to closely in that area. Like I said I really have a pretty full plate right now & besides, I usually don't start a plane until I have all the peices/parts. Closest hobby shop to me is a looonnngg drive so it is good to be prepared
