awsome project! one thing to keep in mind with the mosquito is that the tail is going to need to be REALLY lightweight. Much like WW1 airplanes, the weight of the engine made up a much larger percentage of the total flying weight, so the engines were not too far ahead of the CG point. Electric motors are much lighter than the rest of the plane, so they won't have as much authority over the CG compared to the full scale plane, so keep your tail light!
I actually like a plane that requite a little extra nose weight to get a good CG.
I prefer to add that weight with battery, and if that can't be done, I'll work on motor and other electronics placement. If I still have trouble, then I'll work on lightening the tail. I don't concern myself much with scale but for the most part if you keep an airframe within about 10% of its original proportions you can make spectacular changes to CG and other factors while still keeping the desired look...
That being said... the DeHavilland Mosquito is not a challenge I've attempted yet. Virtually all of its weight FWD of CG was motor, thats a hard look to replicate, especially in smaller builds! I have faith in you, but it will be a challenge! Best of Luck!
