One for Phil...your custom decals looked really good...How did you do that? PC
PC, I use a small vinyl cutter called a [link=http://www.specialty-graphics.com/Roland_Stika_SV12_Vinyl_Cutter.html]Sticka Cutter[/link]. These are fairly expensive for hobby use but I make some graphics for the local flyers too which helps offset the investment. Works very well but the limitation is the rather small bed. Mine is the 12 inch unit which will actually cut about 9 5/8 max width.

On your build, I don't have my engine or tank mounted in the plane yet but I'm planning to relieve the tank shelf a bit so I can get my hand in there to assemble the wing bolts. Having only one tank should simplify this a bit. Without the tank and engine mounted I don't have a good idea of my final weight or CG yet but I'm expecting it to be tail heavy...

Mine is going to be powered by a Moki 2.10.
