With a Zenoah G26ei and Hydramax batteries. Mine weighs 16+ pounds and that is with 14 ounces of lead on the nose.

The plane does not mind the weight. If flies gorgeous.

Couple of questions.

DS821 servos only cost about 25.00 a piece. I used DS821's for all of my channels including throttle. What I can attest to you is this after using both analog and digitals servos.

Why not set your control rods for the ailerons as required then solder them on the ends or use the back-up nut with some lock-tite?
