Default Venus II questions

I just bought Venus II ARF from GP and I have a few questions:
I'm going to use O.S 120AX with a stock muffler, what prop should I use? 15x10? 16x8?
Where is the recommended CG point?
For elevator control, are you using two servos or just one? I'm afraid it won't balance well with two servos in the back.
Should I use the links that came with the kit?

A single JR 8611A is an excellent choice for the elevator. The 120AX should pull some LONG vertical up lines. Ask Bill at Great Planes O.S. support here @ RCU..

The 15x10 gives a more constant speed in the wind and going vertical and still gives good down line breaking. With the 120ax you will need all 3 servos in the tail and the battery as far back as tou can get it. I can't remember where I balanced mine but I think it was a little behind the recomened point in the manual. It still feels a little noise heavy but not enough to mess with. The stock links have worked fine so far.
