Hey Serge,

My flying buddy has the exact same setup. He loves his too! I haven't flown it yet, but it looks like tons of fun!

I have a JR 4721 at 120 oz on the rudder,so no problem here. The 3003 at 44 oz may not be enough to hold the plane. These planes really should have the elevator and rudder surfaces on a good ball bearing servos. This plane with a aft CG is a lot of fun to fly low and slow harrier figure eights just off the deck
