Very nice finish and a neat installation in very cramped internal space. Wow that did turn out extremely heavy at 20.12 Kg. Mine was with 2 P60's was 14.08Kg, and the prototype with 2 Rabbits was 15.55 Kg. I am worried that it is hugely overpowered and you will have to be very careful. Very few of these models have been flown and yours is by far the heaviest and with by far the most thrust. If I was in your place I would not dream of flying off grass with the weight you have as the U/C gear and retracts is not that strong. The screws on mine all came loose after 2 or 3 flights and I had to take them completely out and strip them down and loctite all the screws. Also make sure you check the aluminium brackets that hold the wing spars and the taileron spars do not work loose. Again mine did after only a few flights. They are a pain being a mix of US and metric threads and difficult to reach as you will find. I just hope the airframe holds together. Good luck.
