Default RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

To Aeroworks' defense, I have not seen better build quality for a glow intended plane. I will post pictures of the build details after I weigh everything up here in a few. My funtana did not hold up well to the extreme vibration that 4 stroke glow puts out. In side by side comparison the Funtana looks like a cheap gimmick. The durability in the design is just not there for the Funtana.

I have a question for everyone though. Who is adding weight for CG balance? Also, how much weight? One last question.. What is the absolute lightest servo I can use for throttle? Many thanks.

On a side note, I can see quite a few areas on the airframe where one could lighten things up. Possibly even a considerable amount. I will know more here upon close inspection and weighing.
