I have one with a saito 82, flys great and lite with lots of power. 4 strokes sound cool too. You will need 2 tail servos......if not anything else, just to get it to balance. Don't really need to add any wieght, if you use 2 tail servos, should balance fine as-is. Put your reciever pack toward the rear below the pull-pull cables to help balance it. I built a small platform for the battery, wasn't difficult.

It does have a bit of wing rock if the attack angle isn't perfect (if you get it right, it's OK), iMHO there are better planes as far as wing-rock is concered. However it does rolling manuvers more crisply and looks much better spinnig than some of the more stable planes. It hovers really well, and does pattern stuff well. It's a trade-off I guess.

If you like the looks of it, go for it! Every 3DH plane I have owed (about 8 of them) has been terrific.
