Default My big stik with Saito FG-20 Gas engine

Hello, this is my big stik 60

Specs are:

Great planes Big Stik 60
Engine: SAITO FG-20 running stock ignition and with motul oil and 15x8 menz propeller. Ignition is located externally under the fuse. I will be trying a 16x6 soon.
Battery: a123 1000mah for ignition and 1950 FAUP for RX
RX is a futaba 7 channel FASST
Landing Gear: custom carbon Fiber with William Brothers balloon wheels 3-1/2´´. Tailwheel ohio superstar with a dedicated servo.
Sullivan tail wire
Servos are futaba s3001 for everything except ailerons, where I put something a lttle better. Rudder and elevator servos are mounted on the tail for balancing. It is a little tailheavy but inside the limits.
on a 12oz fuel tank it flies for 30 minutes or more. this engine is very nice.
the firewall was reinforced with fiberglass.

Yes, it has a gallon.
BTW i think the landing gear is a little off-centered, it had a little assymetry. does it look alright?

The last picture shows a view of the landing gear from above. Yes, I suppose it looks good, what do you think?
I am running a Dubro S8 Square Fuel Tank 8 oz (I forgot, thought it was a 12 oz first) and it runs over 30 minutes of flight time.
I have also eliminated the diedral on the wings, although not all. it flies very neutral.
regards.
