Thanks!
I think it'll run GREAT, I had the magnum .91 rfs in it, and it had plenty of power for any maneuver you would want, besides hovering- It would, just at towards the top of the power envelope......... I also needed a bit of tailweight to get the cg back to neutral/neutral on inverted uplines..... I figure if I was to do another, my YS .91 AC would go in there, or a saito 100....

You could or *would* (IMHO) want to mount the two elevator servos in the tail, along with the rudder on the bottom- would probably balance out better that way, but before you cut, always tape the servos where you want them, and check balance.... everyone assembles different, and they sometimes beef up areas that add weight....... While I'm on the subject of "beefing up", The motor box is in need of some attention...... tri-stock, fiberglass cloth and carbon tow were used in mine, I was going for stiff, yet flexible, yet stiff... the motor box as delivered, then soaked with ca, still rattled loose after about 15 flights, so do the work first, so you are glueing to virgin wood rather than slime soaked ply.... GOOD LUCK! you'll love that bird for sure!
