Answers-
Gimbley motors- Nope, didnt even know such things existed! Should this attempt end up being another expensive brick (highly probable) I will have to invest some time in learning stuff.
Servo's - Aileron servos are mid wing screwed to plastic welded brackets inside the wing (1gram'ish weight) I could move them if the centre of ballance is off. Flaperon Servos are just behind the motors , well ahead of the wing leading edge (1.7g each)
Rudder and tail flaps servos are in line with the main wing flaperons, again 1.7 g each (no where else to put them so they are staying put.)
The reail weight are the batteries and motors, i would guess half a kilo all together. motors are forward of the wing edge and the batteries will be in line with the wing edge
Parachute- LOL, i'm going to do some fast taxiing first...if she gets even the slightest hint of air i'm going to very quickly land and get an experienced RC pilot to take her the rest of the way...its still a big IF though :)

You could have a parachute failsafe, it could be sprung from a tiny catch that's held shut by electricity
and if/when when that cuts out the spring launches 10p worth of plastic bag and dental floss to save £££'s of precious aircraft.
BTW I was saying 'ouch' for each of those 1.7g. Then you said HALF A KILO, holy shit! I guess the mass of everything else is negligible in comparison.
