Ok back again, I finished out the 3 servo mounts, made a access hatch for the battery fuel tank bay same thickness as the fuselage and closed off the final section of 1/64th ply just behind the servo's added saddle seat strips - not shown is the RX that will sit next to the throttle servo.

The fuselage is done less fuel proofing the wood, with all the gear inside including the RX and batteries I am now at 7.804oz with 3.194 oz left for the balsa flying surfaces, 2 servo's and the horns and wire. Going to be close one for sure. The fuselage is very strong and can handle a TD .09 Have my templates done for the flying surfaces and ready to let the balsa dust fly
