I just maidened the same plane (with carbon spar). I am using a SWB 3.5 degree mount for 150cc engines. You can find it at swbmfg.com.

Regarding the counter balance, I do not think you need to do this if you use 2 servos per elevator. I have 4 hitec 5955 servos total on the elevator and I was told by a number of Comp Arf reps and owners that this will be fine. I did have to add 12oz of lead to the nose.

BTW - Use the rear wing position. Jason Shulman told me this is where the tube is located on the wing tube version of our plane. My plane is rock solid for 3D.
