Nice mod. Are the smaller motors beefy enough to lift a GoPro in the nose?

In your place I wouldn't trust those sub micro servos with large control surfaces especially that this is a 3 channel plane, if one servo goes you will have no control.

The lengths some people will go to get a symmetrically mounted wing! Looks great. I've been toying with a similar use of the Old Fogey wing on a stripped-down fuselage - mostly to eliminate weight as the foam board I'm using is heavier than dollar tree. Something like an early Bleriot monoplane. I will be interested seeing how your servos perform - this plane won't be going that fast, and I doubt it will need much input to get a turn, though a loop might be different. When do we get to see the maiden? :)
