I have had the 115 in a 23lbs comp arf extra and a 25 lbs Sukhoi, ya gotta love that power. Put that baby on those ES pipes and you will have a monster!! No such thing as too much power.
In the comp the batteries are forward by the motor dome and on the Sukhoi they are behind the rudder pull-pull. A little planing and you should not have any problem balancing.

I'm even probably going to send it to Sala and get the Sala Mods done to it.
