17X4 is to big. If you want to be a bit faster, maybe a 16X6w?

This has nothing to do with the engine or the rudder servo (if there was blowback then the coupling wouldn't be there).

My funtana pulls towards the gear in KE. It is easy to mix out. I have a 12z so I am not sure about how your programming works, but you should be able to put in a p-mix. I started with 7% up elevator with both rudder deflections and I think I ended up putting in a point or two more after that. Problem solved.

82oz? Not enough. You are going to need 100oz on the rudder of that plane. I had a 16X6 on my 125 on the funtana. Good prop, but I preferred a 16X4. Just my personal preference.

I had a hitec HS-985. 172os of torque. Rudder needs a lot of torque. A cheaper alterrnative would be the HS-5645, however, they have a slight centering issues. It can be resolved with a programmer though.

I have a OS 120pumped on mine, 16X4W apc prop 5645s all around on 6V and I can do nice KE but with the SFG's you can KE all day long ...The SFG's look a little goofy but it makes a big difference in the handling of this airframe (all for the better) my CG is about .25 of an inch forward.
