just got a sceadu never flown with a os 32sxh engine. I have installed the gyro a csm hlg gyro with a ds811 servo and standard 591s else where. The only other thing is that it has the lower 3rd bearing upgrade installed and ive put a mpII on it. I have ordered the upper bearing block for the tail shaft and the gears to make it have the auto rotation tail. I dont want to spend any big money on this cause i ave splashed out and got nice servos and other bits and peices for my forth coming airskipper50. Anyway any one any tips for the sceadu ie what i should look out for tip. I plan to fly it on sun

i have a useful tip, i've seen a sceadu strip out 2 591's on the pitch in 1 days flying and a couple of others go on me while i've been test flying others equipped with them on the pitch, if you read the manual it does say minimum 6kg torque on pitch servo, but i'm not convinced it's just the torque, it's something about the sceadu and the 591 on pitch, they just dont seem to like each other, because after the 2 stripped 591's we fitted a futaba 3001 which only has 3kg torque and i think it's still flying on that servo today, they'll be fine on everything else, just change the pitch one out for something stronger, the jr 8231 would be a good choice.
Generally the 591 is about the best budget servo you can buy, i had over 100 flying hours on my hawk sport with 591's all round and they still worked really good, it's just the gearsets always seem to strip when used on pitch for the sceadu.
