Could it be a little too much lateral surface area ahead of the center of pressure? That could easily reduce the effectiveness of the vertical stabilizer.

Better buy one or two before they're gone! Top Flite warbirds are great, but like everything else they have limited availability.

You also have the option of using the next size smaller music wire. It is much stronger than the supplied wire even when thinner. Solder on a threaded coupler at the tail end and you are good to go.

Nearly doubling the elevator throw is not a good plan. Top Flite does a good job with balance and throw calculations. I highly recommend you stick the the manual!

Good experience with a Zoar 22x8x3 on a Top Flite Corsair and an EME 60. A WOW experience on the same setup except with a Mejzlik 23x8 carbon prop. The vertical with the 23x8 is incredible.

Doubtful. The center section spar is aluminum. You could remove some to clear the cannister, but it would compromise its strength.

I've had great luck using Bob Violett's "Thin Lube for O-rings." BVM part #PA-MA-0004. I add it to new retracts and treat it annually thereafter.

I don't know what it weighs. He's been flying it for several years. His RCU handle is "radfordc." Perhaps he can chime in and answer. I'll take a guess and say 25 pounds.
