Fuse (cont)
Velcro'ed the receiver to the same tray that the air tank is on.
Since it's difficult to insert any wires into the tray'ed receiver, the last two servos (gear and choke) were connected.
The air tank to a festo fastener was also connected.
One air line to the air valve was connected and placed into it's spot on the servo tray.
Needed my hot air gun to soften the blue air line to get it on the nipples.
Presently, I'm leaving the other air lines off that go to the wings as it appears I can make them extra long with the festo fittings resting by the fuse where the wings join. Hopefully, I can, then, easily just connect the wing air lines where the wings join versus trying to route them through all the tail surface rods/wires. Same with the flap/aileron connections.

Re-enforced the nose area with FG cloth and resin plus make it fuel proof.
No need to put the usual screws into the sides to hold the front engine former as they did a nice job of dado'ing the former into the sides of the fuse.
