I am going to switch to a Falcon 32x11W propeller, the Falcon 32x12 is just too much pitch. It's not that the engine can't lug it, because it rips it on the uplines at 3/4 throttle, it's just that the thing doesn't slow down. I'm hovering at 1/3 throttle too!!
The airplane itself is probably one of the most responsive airplanes I've ever flown, it has a TON of aileron authority!! So much so that I'm going to make some adjustments to my 105 Laser because I believe I'm not getting the right aileron throw out of it. Hitec HSB-9381TH servos are rock solid and super locked in too. Can't wait to fly this thing more, 4 flights and the engine is getting stronger every single flight (it has maybe 2 gallons through it, she'll start making its full power around 5 gallons).

. That's my Matthew Mc Conaughey impression saying 
IT FLIES!

I have not, don't have a scale that will weigh it. It flies light as a feather and is super crisp on the roll rate.
ZDZ180 is a monster in this airplane, and I'm not even fully broken in yet

Nice set up. I really like the J&J Tailwheels. They are really robust and look pretty amazing too.

It works extremely well except when your springs stretch a bit and there isn't positive steering anymore!!

Ah yeah. That is why I use the fuel tubing, (nitro medium) and zip tie method. Always positive and never fails.It works extremely well except when your springs stretch a bit and there isn't positive steering anymore!!
