dont worry ..  planes looks dont matter in air.. see how it flys.. my katana turned out really tail heavy.. i had to add additional motor mount box to balance the cg.. make sure u are estimating everything  now itself.. it should be great .. try a 6s setup .. instead of 5s .. hardly any difference in cost ..
this was the setup of a friends Sebart katana 60"
motor-hacker- really low kv (dont remember the exact figure ..around 300-400kv)
battery- 6s 3000mah 25c
esc-60amp turnigy plush
prop-16x10

i was getting around 7-8 mins of flight time...  thats more than satisfying i guess..
power was insane .. never required more than half throttle .. except  to come out of hover..

Finally.. After 2 Long nights and lots of methods, Here is 1 ROUGH Canopy made using Plastic Jar (PETG Jar), Foam Plug, and 1 heat gun, I know it is not that much of clean :banghead:, But Today Will try making another Canopy with some serious efforts..  ;D
