Default RE: Ace 1/3 scale Weeks Special help needed

Hello, gentlemen. I am also interested in your progress with the Weeks Special. Having built 2 of them, it will be intesting to see how you do.
If I could, one thing that I would suggest you do, is what I did to my last one. I built a hatch behind the firewall, and in front of the cabane. It's a little more work, but the benefits are worth the extra work, otherwise, anything that needs to be done with the fuel tank is nearly impossible. I also mounted the elevator servos back by the tail. My first one had push rods, worked fine but clutters up the inside of the fuselage too much, that is why I put the elevator servos in the back. I put a Sachs 3.2 on the nose, and in order to balance the plane, I was glad they weren't in the way, because I had to put the battery as far back as I could to balance it.
