PowerPlant XYZ 26 CC (http://cnsunway.en.alibaba.com/product/562431081-213561287/XYZ_26_Gas_Powered_Engine_for_26CC_Class_RC_Airplane.html) 16x 8 Prop
Servo Sanwa 94851high torque on all (http://www.servodatabase.com/servo/sanwa/94815) Futaba 3004 on throttle
Futaba 8UHP with Frsky Module, High Volt Rx, two LiFe 6.4 Volt Batt without powerbox,
Needed to be tail heavy slightly, larger fuel tank moved back therefore no standoff.
Flew 3 Sorties.
Thrust line was perfect,
16x8 isn't enough will change to 18x8 once broken in
Flew like expected nice and smooth, tracks well, snap was just about ok (flew at low throw), Hover lacked power, Blender was neat, KE will require some mix, bellying in, Roll will need to be mixed too, yawing a bit. All in all, beauty to fly
Some more pics
wow :)
Beautiful
Six more flights, Cowl will go in and may be some decals too (I hate extra decals though, well, will stick whatever came along)

kept CG at 113 mm as opposed to recommended 102 mm. inside pic
Thanks RCDhamaka, Karthik & Sanjeev. This one had to wait a really long time before taking to air
Mubarak ho Gusty, looks a pretty flyer!
Thank You sir, yes it is except for the power presently
Congrats Gusty Bhai! Hope 18x8 will give you more PaWWa!

Hope she is alright!
