Great build thread, Tuny!
I really like that tail wheel arrangement.
Since I first saw it, I have used it on 3 or 4 models and it works great, is easy to install and lightweight. The most recent one I weighed was 11 grams, including the wheel and collar.

Tuny!!!!! X-celent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just Great!!!! you're just improving the last year's work on the Onas (?).
Just a comment: on page two you show the closure of the chin with several screws and inserts... I used to have that type of mines but had the tendency to "dly appart" of the plane due to vibration... I repaced it with sliding pins and fixed pins... no more problems since then.
Cheers

Thanks Guille!!!
I have used screws to hold chin cowls and never had a problem, in fact I dont like pins because they get slop in time and causes noise from the chin and hatches.

Fuel tank and fuel system.
after calculating the CG I got the final location for the fuel tank and made the second former that will support it.

ailerons and elevs control horns.
for this airplane I decided to make my own control horns, I cutted them from 1.5mm carbon fiber and glued to the surface on a box made from 1/4 balsa.

Where do you get the black fuel tubing holder that you used on the vent line? Can't find them anywhere.
thanks
